Custom Introduces Suite of Tile Installation Products for Commercial Kitchens
Custom Building Products has introduced a comprehensive, industrial grade tile installation system for commercial kitchens and food processing facilities. When used, the collection of high-performance products addresses aggressive cleaning, chemical and heat conditions to maximize the lifespan of new installations and speed in the installation of new tile in retrofit projects.
Appropriate subfloor preparation is a critical first step, according to the company. Application of Custom's RedGard Waterproofing and Crack Prevention Membrane helps protect kitchen floors from moisture and oils that may penetrate the tile and grout, potentially causing deterioration of the mortar bond. RedGard directs moisture to floor drains, while also helping to prevent cracks up to 1/8-inch.
