A High-Performance, Free Draining, Permeable Bedding Mortar.

tuffbed 2-pack is designed for use as the laying course on domestic and less trafficked commercial projects for natural stone, clay, concrete or porcelain paving units in bound construction.

Features and Benefits

Performance exceeds BS7533 requirements for bedding mortars, particularly the requirement for positive vertical and horizontal permeability and frost resistance when cured.

tuffbed 2-pack has a maximum capillarity rise of 20mm in accordance with BS7533-101: 2021 5.4.1 when tested to Annex C.

Lower carbon profile: a two-part product without pre-dried, pre-blended aggregate with the binder supplied separately to avoid energy-intensive central processing, saving up to 50% of the energy used to produce a typical pre-blended product where all ingredients are dried.

Bedding depths of 20-70mm can be placed in a single layer.  Greater depths are achieved by placing successive layers.

Structure is vital for High Performance to meet all the performance requirements of BS7533-101:2021, something few proprietary mortars achieve, Steintec takes a scientific approach to the selective grading of aggregate used in its bedding mortars. These are closely graded for hardness, angularity, and natural interlock, characteristics which are key to providing inherent strength. The addition of the highest quality binder results in the need for less binder whilst still delivering exceptional strength and the levels of permeability and resistance to capillary rise demanded by BS7533-101:2021 Table 9.
