Tile Adhesives
Ardex Australia tile adhesives ensure durable, long-lasting installations for walls, floors, and natural stone. Our polymer-modified and epoxy-based formulas resist moisture, cracking, and heavy foot traffic. Suitable for residential and commercial projects, these adhesives meet Australian standards for flexibility and load-bearing capacity.
Waterproofing Membranes
Our waterproofing membranes prevent water ingress in bathrooms, roofs, and basements. Compliant with AS4858 and AS4654, they offer rapid curing, UV resistance, and root repellence for gardens. Ideal for critical infrastructure and high-traffic areas requiring leak-proof performance.
Grouts
Ardex Australia grouts provide stain-resistant, flexible finishes for tile joints. Cement-based and epoxy options ensure durability in wet zones, commercial kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Wide colour ranges allow aesthetic customisation while resisting efflorescence and chemical exposure.
Subfloor Levelling
Self-levelling compounds create smooth, stable bases for flooring installations. Rapid-drying formulas enable same-day trafficability, while moisture-resistant variants suit timber and concrete substrates. Compliant with AS/NZS4020 for potable water applications.
Concrete Repair
High-strength repair mortars and crack injection systems restore damaged concrete structures. Corrosion inhibitors and carbon-fibre stitching enhance longevity for bridges, car parks, and industrial facilities, meeting AS4654 durability standards.
