only onto the back of the panel or wall, cutting in half the square footage neces- sary to trowel. Additionally, with Bosti-Set, installation crew members dedicated to basics such as mixing, run- ning mortar back and forth and similar functions, can be redirected to work on more skilled installation pro- cedures. Bosti-Set is lighter in weight with much greater coverage than typical mor- tars. It contains zero VOCs as well as 2% recycled material. Bostik’s patent-pending Thickness ControlTM Spacer Technology built into Bosti-Set, ensures proper mem- brane thickness is always main- tained between tile panels and the substrate. And recycled rubber crumb particles mixed into the adhesive offer optimal membrane sound reduction performance. “WefirstfoundoutaboutBosti-Set from our BPI representative, Ruben Rivera,” stated Rusty Dennison, Vice President of Operations at Allstate Commercial Flooring of Bosti-Set, Bostik’s state-of-the-art adhesive, for- mulated specifically for the installation of today’s gauged porcelain tile panels, was used to install the Laminam panels. Projects calling for gauged thin porcelain tile panels now can be installed in roughly half the time with a smaller crew since only a single layer of adhesive is troweled only onto the back of the panel or wall, cutting in half the square footage neces- sary to trowel. Allstate Commercial team not only knew all the many attributes of Bosti-Set, but became psyched to work with this space- age material.
