UltraTile ProGrip FX delivers premium performance in Castlerock apartment development

SMC Tiling Contractor successfully completed the tiling of 13 premium apartments in Castlerock, Northern Ireland—including two penthouses and a basement unit—using UltraTile ProGrip FX adhesive.

Background

Nestled in the coastal town of Castlerock, a new residential development comprising 13 high-specification flats – featuring two luxury penthouses and a basement apartment – required a dependable, high-performance tile adhesive for various internal tiling applications. From private ensuites to shared communal spaces, consistent performance and versatility were critical for achieving the desired aesthetic and durability.

The Challenge

The project involved tiling in multiple environments with differing levels of foot traffic. The bathrooms and ensuites needed an adhesive that would perform well in wet conditions, whilst communal floors demanded a strong, flexible bond capable of withstanding daily wear and tear.
