ARDEX Natural Stone Range

non staining on sensitive stone

Natural stone is becoming increasingly popular, this
presents new challenges to ensure a perfect finish and
avoid unsightly staining, which is frequently caused when
moisture from traditional tile adhesives and grouts gets
into the stone dissolving existing materials, such as iron
oxides or organic deposits which can discolour the face
and/or edges of natural stone tiles.
