• ADHESIVES AND JOINTS

  In this category you will find all the adhesives necessary for a perfect placement and installation of ceramic and porcelain. All glue cement models from manufacturers such as Gecol or Benfer at the best prices on the market.

  The adhesives that we present will comply with all European UN and French Cstb regulations for all types of substrates, with the necessary advice for a perfect placement.

• MORTARS AND CEMENTS

  In this category of matcarrelage.com you will find cements and technical mortars. Products for the preparation of substrates before laying the ceramic.

  In the category, we add the classic cement, lafarge portland cement, a cement for multiple applications, such as:

  Mass and reinforced concrete of large volumes or concrete foundations such as soil cement or gravacement.

  Lafarge cement can also be used for compacted concrete, for soil stabilization or for the creation of mortars and masonry in general.

  We will also incorporate mosquito nets for the preparation of substrates, leveling or self-leveling mortars for a perfect placement of ceramic floors and wall tiles for both interior and exterior.

• LEVELING SYSTEMS

  In recent years, ceramic leveling systems have become a tool for the perfect placement of ceramic tiles. With the arrival of the large format on the market, the level of demand for placement has risen, since no matter how much our experience supports us, there are factors that are beyond our control and it is essential to place leveling systems for optimal Outcome.

  What is a leveling system?

  
  Leveling systems are a set of tools that have been designed to avoid unwanted "eyebrows" when laying large-format tiles. Avoiding that unevenness between pieces that often appears due to differences in the setting of the glue cement, will be the main function of the Levtile leveling system.

  Functions of leveling systems

  
  The main function of the leveling system, as we have said before, is to level a ceramic tile or floor, avoid unevenness or eyebrows that occur in the joints, but in addition, leveling systems provide us with other advantages.

  The function that has traditionally been given to the spreaders, the joint between pieces that will later allow to create a system like waterproof when applying its borada sealant.

  By creating the joint, you will avoid the problems derived from the expansions of the ceramic when they are placed at the end, cracks, breaks, etc ..., in addition to the small dimensional differences between pieces.

  It will control the setting differences due to the differences in the application of glue cement between pieces.

  And finally, it will help to minimize the problems caused by the curvature of the ceramic pieces. With the leveling system we can hide the tilting of the piece and correct the natural position a little. Especially in wood-imitation porcelain pieces, this is one of the main factors that we find ourselves with and thanks to the leveling systems we can achieve a perfect finish to everything and the vice of curve that the pieces of stretched formats have.

  At matcarrelage, we have designed our own ceramic leveling system, Levtile, a system tested and proven for years and the result is far superior to other leveling systems on the market.

• PROFILES

  Ceramic edging, corner pieces or profiles are cladding accessories for the functional and aesthetic finishing of corners. They are elements that are presented in an angular shape whose purpose is to protect the corners, providing a desired aesthetic finish.

  The main purpose, as we have said before, is to protect the corners, minimizing the possibility that blows can cause damage to the corners of the ceramic, these being the most vulnerable areas.

  The profiles can be classified according to the type of material with which they are made and that will provide us with their suitability for use.

  There are PVC profiles, which are the most common and simple on the market, a resistant, economical and malleable material that will allow us a range of colors but will limit their use only indoors.

  Another of the most used elements for the manufacture of corner pieces is aluminum, a resistant product with an anodizing layer that will allow us multiple finishes, looking for the best aesthetic concept for the ceramic that we want to protect.

  And finally, we find the stainless steel profiles, allowing their installation indoors and outdoors without danger of rust.

  In addition to covering the corners, the profiles will allow us solutions such as transitions, steps and an endless number of solutions that we will find in the finishes necessary for a perfect ceramic finish.
