Fastening System/Accessories
Unlike flat bottom type wet set anchors, TufTile’s umbrella style anchor easily penetrates wet concrete. Aggregate within the concrete is not pushed down but moves to the side temporarily as the anchor penetrates. Aggregate can then fall back over the umbrella and the anchor becomes firmly integrated with the concrete.
Wet-set anchors are permanently locked in wet concrete. TufTile wet-set tiles are REPLACEABLE and wet-set anchors
can be used multiple times in the event a tiles needs to be replaced.
