Custom's SimpleMat® Makes DIY Tile Setting Easier Than Ever
SEAL BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB) July 18, 2014 -- To provide the quickest, easiest and cleanest way for any do-it-yourselfer to install tile, Custom® Building Products (http://www.custombuildingproducts.com/), the leading provider of tile and stone installation systems, delivers with its revolutionary SimpleMat® Tile Setting Mat.
Readily available to homeowners at The Home Depot, SimpleMat transforms what was once thought to be a painstaking, expensive task into an easy and fast way to greatly improve your kitchen, bathroom or almost any spot in need of a tile upgrade. SimpleMat replaces traditional thin-set mortar or mastic adhesive that can be time consuming, messy or costly to hire a professional contractor.
SimpleMat features a double-sided adhesive mat that is specifically designed to bond tile to counters, backsplashes or shower walls. The absence of thin-set mortar means no mixing or clean-up is involved. The product offers significant bonding strength that doesn’t kick off until the release liner is removed. This affords the flexibility to tile then grout in sections, especially when matched with color-consistent and ready-to-use Fusion Pro® Single Component® grout. To demonstrate SimpleMat’s strength, mosaic glass tile set with SimpleMat and grouted with Fusion Pro on a vertical surface was subjected to a full 50 pounds of weight, suspended for 5 minutes. A video of the test can be viewed at http://bit.ly/1t9Rzj0.
“Whether you’re a pro looking for a simple solution on a small job, a house flipper on a fast track schedule or a first-time do-it-yourselfer looking to make valuable home addition such as a backsplash in the kitchen, SimpleMat provides the quickest, easiest and cleanest way to install tile for common home tiling projects,” said Tony Pasquarelli, marketing services manager for Custom Building Products.
“SimpleMat’s design allows you to tile at your own pace. It’s as easy as applying the double-sided adhesive to the surface, then pressing the tile into SimpleMat’s ridged surface to create the immediate bond, and then applying the grout.” Simply grout with 24 hours.
SimpleMat is offered in sheets to tile up to 10 square feet or in a value-size roll covering 30 square feet for larger projects.
