Why BAL AF Max Is One of the Highest Yield Tile Adhesives on the Market

Why BAL AF Max Is One of the Highest Yield Tile Adhesives on the Market

 

Professional tilers know that profit isn’t just about day rates — it’s about efficiency, coverage and product performance. The more you can get from each bag of adhesive, the better your margins.

If you haven’t yet tried BAL AF Max, this high-yield, lightweight tile adhesive could transform how you work on site.

What Makes BAL AF Max Different?

Ever wondered how BAL AF Max achieves such impressive coverage while remaining lightweight?

The answer lies in its advanced rubber crumb filler technology.

When you compare 30g of traditional sand filler with 30g of the rubber crumb filler used in BAL AF Max, the difference in volume is clear. The rubber crumb filler occupies significantly more space, which directly translates into a higher yield product.

More volume per weight means:

  • Greater coverage per bag

  • Easier handling and lifting

  • Reduced fatigue on site

  • More efficient mixing

  • Better value per m²

Up to 8.5m² Coverage from a 17kg Bag

Because of its innovative formulation, a 17kg bag of BAL AF Max tile adhesive can cover up to:

✔ 8.5m² using a 10mm x 10mm notched trowel

That’s exceptional performance compared to traditional cement-based adhesives of a similar size.

For professional tilers, this means:

  • Fewer bags needed per project

  • Lower transport and storage requirements

  • Reduced material costs

  • Improved job profitability

When you’re pricing competitively, higher yield makes a measurable difference.

Designed for Professional Installations

BAL AF Max is ideal for:

  • Large format tiles

  • High traffic commercial areas

  • Underfloor heating systems

  • Internal and external installations

  • Walls and floors

Its high-performance bond strength combined with lightweight handling makes it a trusted solution for demanding projects.

If you regularly work with premium tiles, porcelain, or large format slabs, pairing them with a high-yield professional adhesive like BAL AF Max ensures long-term durability and performance.

Sustainable & Site-Smart

Using rubber crumb filler doesn’t just improve coverage - it also reduces the number of bags required per job. That means:

  • Less packaging waste

  • Fewer deliveries

  • Lower carbon impact

  • Less manual handling

For contractors focused on efficiency and sustainability, BAL AF Max ticks both boxes.
