TC100 materials guide

Know what you’re buying before it reaches site.

A practical product library for working tilers. Understand what a product is for, where it can be used, what needs to go with it and which technical documents should be checked before installation.

Can’t find a locally enriched guide yet? We’ll give you a direct search into the wider supplier catalogue rather than guessing.

Choose a product category.

The catalogue is organised around how tilers actually work: preparation first, then waterproofing, fixing, finishing and specialist systems. Select a category to narrow the guide library.

Partnered companies

Manufacturer knowledge, presented properly.

Partner manufacturers can have a verified space inside the guide: current datasheets, system components, approved pairings, training links and a clear route to technical support. Paid placement should never change the technical answer.

For tilers

One system, not five tabs.

See the board, fixing, tape, membrane, adhesive and finishing components together with a short explanation of why each may be required.

For manufacturers

Put the right information on site.

Partner guides can highlight current documents and approved system combinations without forcing the trader to search through a corporate website.

The bit that makes this useful

“If I buy this, what else do I need?”

Every enriched product guide is designed around the complete installation, not the single item in the basket.

Important: “water-repellent board” does not mean every joint, screw hole and penetration is automatically waterproof. In wet areas, those details have to be sealed as the manufacturer system requires.
Technical note: TC100 product guides are an aid to product selection and site planning. They do not replace the latest manufacturer datasheet, installation instructions, project specification, applicable standards or competent technical advice. Product formulations, approvals and instructions can change, so the linked manufacturer information should be checked before use.
