The item you regret
having saved money on

Adhesives, grouts, waterproofing membranes, trims and shower channels. Nobody chooses a tile for its adhesive — and yet the adhesive is what decides whether it is still there in ten years on a Caribbean terrace.

Butech — wet room, installation and trims

Butech — Adhesives, profiles, grouts and shower drains — whichever brand of tile you use.

The house

The technical firm of the group, open to every brand

Butech makes the installation systems of the Porcelanosa group: adhesive mortars, grouts, waterproofing systems, finishing trims, channel drains and ventilated façades.

One thing sets it apart from the six other firms: it does not serve Porcelanosa tile alone. Butech works with any make of tile. It is the one house in the group we sell to tilers who are laying something else.

SystemAdhesive, membrane, grout and trim designed together

The ranges

Eight families, one system

Adhesive, membrane, grout and trim are designed together — and Butech goes much further: pool drainage, substrate boards, cantilevered staircases and bathrooms delivered complete. The catalogues at the foot of this page carry the detail.

Shower, pool and drainage

Shower Deck for the walk-in shower, Pool Deck for the poolside, and the finishing gratings. On a pool meant to be finished in ceramic there is no prefabricated channel: the contractor has to design one on site. Butech turns it into a system.

Concept XPS boards

The tiling substrate for ceramic: light, insulating, cut to size on site. It replaces built-up work where load is a problem, and it saves rebuilding a substrate just to tile over it.

Why this brand here

Six reasons not to buy
the adhesive at random

On a Caribbean site, the installation system takes what the tile does not: heat, humidity, salt and slab movement.

  • Large format
    Specific adhesiveA 160 × 320 slab is not bonded with the mortar for a 30 × 30. Back-buttering and the adhesive class are not negotiable.
  • Waterproofing
    Membrane requiredA walk-in shower without a waterproofing membrane leaks within five years. It is the item you regret having saved money on.
  • Movement
    Movement jointsA concrete slab moves in the heat. Without movement joints, the tiling tents and lifts.
  • Outdoors
    Water-repellent groutOrdinary grout at a poolside blackens within a season. Epoxy grout costs more and cleans up.
  • Trims
    The corner and the nosingA splashback corner, a stair nosing, a threshold: these are what people see, and what wears first.
  • Warranty
    Complete systemMixing brands on a waterproofing build-up voids the warranty. We supply the whole set.

Ordering and delivery

What arrives with the tile

The installation system ships with the tile. That is unremarkable elsewhere; here, it is what keeps a site from standing still for six weeks over one bag of adhesive.

Same shipment
The installation system leaves with the tile. Never in a second container
Quantities
We work out adhesive and grout from the measured areas, waste included. One missing bag stops a site
Shelf life
Mortars have a date. Do not over-order “just in case” on a distant site
Collection
Adhesives and grouts available over the counter at the warehouse, the same morning
Compatibility
Works with every brand of tile, not only Porcelanosa
