External paving and tiling solutions: “Bringing the inside out” with Fusion XTa

Larsen Building Products is excited to launch the Fusion XT product range. Described as a complete external paving and tiling solution, the range comprises five high-performance products including three jointing compounds: Fine-Joint, Brush-Joint, and Flow-Joint Smooth, as well as Priming Slurry Bonding Mortar and Brick-Slip Bond Stone & Cladding Adhesive.

This product range follows the launch of Larsen Colourfast 360 tiling grout and silicone sealant range, which continues to sell with exponential growth, the company says. “Colourfast 360 has been a phenomenal line since its launch and is now firmly renowned for being the number one grout offer,” Larsen says. With a formulation utilising Colourfast Technology, this product range ensures uniform joint colour, free from efflorescence.

As part of the Fusion XT product launch, Larsen is providing sampling units to customers to ease in-store colour selection for the end user. The branded units take up little counter space but maximise brand impact.

This sampling unit concept has also been extended to the Larsen Colourfast 360 product range, which showcases the collection of 12 grout colours with coordinating silicones to ensure problem-free tiling. With various jointing compounds available, Larsen says it has the right product to suit whichever joint width is preferred.

For joint widths of up to 15mm, the Fine-Joint comes in three colours (Anthracite, Grey and Limestone) and can be walked on in three to four hours. The Brush-Joint is suitable for joint widths of 3-20mm, but needs an extra bit of setting time before being walked on (typically 10-24 hours). This ready-to-use, brush-in jointing compound comes in 3 different colours: Black, Buff and Grey. The Flow-Joint Smooth, not only incorporates eco reduced-carbon properties, but is also rapid-setting at 15-20 minutes. For joint widths of 3-50mm, this product is suitable for a fast-track finish and can reportedly be walked on in one hour. Like other Larsen jointing compounds, the Flow-Joint smooth is available in three colours: Buff, Charcoal and Natural.

Each of the three jointing compounds are said to be suitable for most types of paving and easy-to-apply. Supplied in durable buckets, the Fusion XT products are specially formulated to achieve professional results every time.

Paul Luff, Larsen sales manager (tiling & flooring division), says: “This is a super bucket range; perfect for DIY and retail, as it keeps everything clean and tidy. As specialists in external paving and tiling solutions, Larsen has created these buckets that detail all the key features and easy-to-follow instructions.”

Along with a range of jointing compounds, the Fusion XT collection also includes Priming Slurry Bonding Mortar and Brick-Slip Bond Stone & Cladding Adhesive. The Priming Slurry is a bonding mortar, which is essential for creating a bond between paving and the bedding mortar.

Suitable for porcelain, natural stone, precast concrete flags & clay pavers, Fusion XT Priming Slurry is a fully BS 7533 (code of practice for the structural design of pavements using modular paving units) compliant bonding mortar for bound surface construction. It also incorporates reduced-carbon properties, which means that for every ton of priming slurry used, the company says, it is equivalent to carbon absorbed by growing one tree for 10 years or not driving a car for 107 miles.

The last product in the range is Fusion XT Brick-Slip Bond. This is a specially formulated flexible non-slip standard-setting adhesive. It’s designed for the installation of brick slips and natural stone to a range of substrates including brick and blockwork, plastered walls and sand & cement render. With Fiberflex Reinforced properties, this product is suitable for walls and floors, both internally and externally.

Luff says: “The last 12 months have really shown how we all need to work together and help one another. Our focus is always on our customers. Excellent retention, quality products, new lines along with genuine customer care have seen this growth continue into 2024 and we remain positive about the future. One of the key areas of focus is communication and here at Larsen, we have expanded our teams in both the Belfast and Tamworth offices. Along with a new highly experienced marketing manager, Claire McComb, we now have a strengthened R&D team with the addition of two new product development managers, each focusing on new product formulations for our broad range of markets.”
