Flex Tiling, respected tiling contractor known for their skilled craftsmanship and keen eye for design, recently completed a stunning installation at a private residence in Bristol using UltraTile’s highly regarded adhesive and grouts
To ensure the highest quality results, Flex Tiling turned to its trusted partner, UltraTile, and utilised its top-performing adhesive and grout to install 2sqm of Victorian-inspired tiles.
The intricate geometric design required precision and skill to install, but Jim at Flex Tiling was more than up to the challenge, meticulously fixing each tile using ProFlex S2 to create a mesmerising and visually striking porch.
Though the tiled area was compact, the six-day project also involved removing the old screed, constructing a new sub-base, and completing a high-precision installation, all while working around the geometric layout’s exacting demands. The workability and strength of UltraTile’s ProFlex S2 adhesive made it ideal for this process.
UltraTile ProFlex S2 is a rapid-setting adhesive that boasts impressive flexibility and is reinforced with innovative FibreBond technology fibres. Its enhanced adhesion and remarkable flexibility shine in challenging environments where movement or vibration would defeat ordinary adhesives. From the natural expansion of timber floors – including plywood and chipboard overlays – to the demanding conditions of swimming pools and the thermal fluctuations of underfloor heating systems, ProFlex S2 maintains its grip when others would fail.
For the finishing touch, Flex Tiling used UltraTile’s top-quality grout, ProGrout Flexible in Grey. Available in 14 gorgeous tones to suit all designs and tastes, ProGrout Flexible is suitable for use with all tile types and can be washed down easily with minimal effort. Designed for areas where movement and vibration is likely, ProGrout Flexible is suitable for joint widths up to 20mm, is mould resistant, and will set in just 12 hours.
Furthermore, ProGrout Flexible has been developed using ColourShield Technology – a process which involves the addition of a specialist additive for lasting colour protection.
On choosing UltraTile, Jim Tovey, Owner of Flex Tiling, shared: “UltraTile products are consistently reliable, easy to work with, and deliver a finish that both I and the client can be proud of. On a job like this, where precision matters, that’s exactly what you need.”
The result is a breath-taking floor that combines timeless Victorian elegance with modern durability – a true testament to Flex Tiling’s craftsmanship and UltraTile’s trusted performance. This project demonstrates how expert installation and innovative materials can preserve and celebrate heritage design in a contemporary setting.
The homeowners were thrilled with their new tiled porch that brings a touch of Victorian charm and sophistication to their Bristol home.
The homeowners commented: “Jim has done a first-class job laying a Victorian tiled floor in our porch. His workmanship is superb, and he kept us informed regularly on timescales and progress.”
