BAL is pleased to introduce our improved BAL Rapid-Mat thin uncoupling mat – now in white.
This latest development provides the same trusted performance installers rely on for tiling onto problematic substrates with movement, with additional improvements to make every installation smoother and more efficient.
The move to a white mat – with red gridlines and markings – provides enhanced visibility for setting out plus easier to see wetting out of the adhesive, helping installers easily confirm full coverage during installation.
Add to this the improved roll-out and mat stability, and you’ve got a system designed to speed up workflow without compromising reliability.
And the benefits don’t stop there: the updated mat colour also delivers a 2.5% CO₂ reduction in the production of the non-woven fleece — a small change that supports our ongoing sustainability efforts.
Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing at BAL, said: “Our improved BAL Rapid-Mat provides great new benefits for installers, on-top of its already outstanding performance as a thin, low height build-up uncoupling system.
“Importantly, nothing changes about its fundamental design. The unique fast-track thin uncoupling mat is still utilising our exclusive technology to accommodate lateral movement and counteracts tension stresses between the substrate and the floor to be installed.
“This means, BAL Rapid-Mat is still lightweight and easy to install with only 1mm thickness. Crucially, BAL Rapid-Mat uses 20% less adhesive when compared to using a cavity mat systems while being suitable for all tile types and thicknesses.
“To help installers recognise it instantly in-store, every roll is still wrapped in a red plastic cover, keeping the look consistent while delivering improved functionality underneath.”
BAL Rapid-Mat: a fresh new look, with all the performance you expect.
