Tile Adhesives, Grouts & Sealants
At the core of the Arc range are high-performance tile grouts and sealants designed for both wall and floor applications. These include fast-setting and water-resistant options in a variety of colours and pack sizes, allowing users to match finishes and ensure durable joints. Arc Pro-Line grouts are especially suited for ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles, delivering excellent bonding and crack resistance.
For sealing and protecting tiles, Arc offers a selection of tile sealers, such as Tile Over Seal and Seal Plus, which are critical for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. These products prevent water ingress behind or around the tiles, helping maintain the structural integrity of tiled surfaces over time.
Choosing the Right Grout or Sealant:
- Use fine grout for narrow joints and coarse options for wider gaps.
- For wet areas, always select a waterproof and mould-resistant formula.
- Match grout colour to tile tone or contrast for aesthetic impact.
Primers & Surface Preparation
A successful tiling job starts with a solid foundation. Arc’s tiling primers, available in 1L and 5L options, enhance surface adhesion and help stabilise porous substrates. These are essential for preparing surfaces like plaster, concrete, or old tiles before applying adhesives or self-levelling compounds.
When to Use Arc Primers:
- On absorbent surfaces to prevent premature drying of adhesive.
- On smooth or dusty surfaces to ensure proper bond strength.
- Prior to applying decoupling membranes or waterproofing layers.
Membranes & Underlayment
Arc’s seal and decoupling membranes serve a critical function in preventing cracks in tiled floors due to substrate movement or temperature fluctuations. These membranes are especially useful in areas with underfloor heating systems or timber subfloors.
Best Practice Tips:
- Use in conjunction with Arc primers and tile adhesives for a complete system.
- Ideal for installations over concrete screeds, wooden floors, or heated slabs.
Arc also supplies a wide selection of tiling tools and accessories for both professionals and DIYers. This includes:
- Trowels for spreading adhesive evenly
- Grout and sponge floats for precise application and cleanup
- Tile spacers in various sizes for consistent joint widths
These tools are designed to deliver a clean, professional finish and to simplify each step of the tiling process.
Tool Selection Guide:
- Choose trowel notch size based on tile size (e.g., larger notches for large-format tiles).
- Use spacers for accurate alignment and uniform grout lines.
- Opt for durable floats for smooth grout application and easy excess removal.
