Certfication
FLEXIM roof mortar has been comprehensively tested by independent testing organisations. Uncompromising adhesion- and tension-related, but most importantly, ageing tests were unleashed on most commonly encountered types of tile. These tests showed that FLEXIM brilliantly withstood even the most extreme weather conditions! The test report establishes that the tensile strength of FLEXIM roof mortar is 20.000 N/m², which meets the requirements of NEN 6707.
