Saint-Gobain Weber weberset nova

Saint-Gobain Weber weberset nova is a premium, highly polymer-modified, cementitious thin-set tile and stone adhesive engineered by Saint-Gobain Weber. Specifically formulated to exceed the performance requirements of modern, demanding installations, it provides superior bonding strength, excellent flexibility, and slip-resistant properties for heavy, low-porosity tiles and natural stones on internal and external surfaces.

Whether installing dense vitrified slabs, porcelain tiles, or natural granite and marble, weberset nova is engineered to handle structural stresses, thermal variations, and challenging substrates. It conforms strictly to the rigorous standards of IS 15477:2019 Type 2 'T' and ISO 13007 / EN 12004 Class C2TE.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Polymer Modification: Fortified with advanced synthetic resins that deliver powerful chemical and mechanical adhesion, ensuring high shear and tensile bond strength over time.
• Non-Slip / Sag Resistant ('T'): Formulated with excellent initial grab and thixotropic properties, preventing heavy, large-format tiles and stones from sliding or sagging during vertical wall installations.
• Extended Open Time ('E'): Offers a generous open time, giving installation teams ample time to position, level, and adjust tiles accurately without the risk of surface skinning.
• High Flexibility & Crack Resistance: Effectively accommodates minor structural movements, substrate vibrations, and thermal expansions/contractions, preventing debonding or tile cracking.
• Water & Weather Resistant: Dense crystalline matrix resists moisture penetration and thermal aging, making it suitable for both internal wet areas and external applications.
• Self-Curing Formula: Requires no post-installation water curing, saving labor, reducing site mess, and speeding up construction timelines.
• Low VOC & Eco-Friendly: Certified with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making it safe for indoor air quality and sustainable construction.

Primary Applications

• Suitable Materials: Vitrified tiles, porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles, glass mosaics, terracotta, engineered stones, and dense natural stones (such as granite, marble, and slate).
• Compatible Substrates: Cement-based screeds, concrete slabs, sand-cement plaster/renders, AAC block masonry, and existing tile/stone surfaces for interior tile-on-tile applications.
• Areas of Use:
• Internal floors and walls (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, corridors).
• Internal wet areas (bathrooms, shower cubicles, utility areas).
• External floors and medium-height external wall cladding.
• Commercial high-traffic spaces like showrooms, offices, and restaurants.

Available Variants

To match distinct tile backgrounds and preserve the aesthetic purity of translucent stones, weberset nova is available in two color variants:

• weberset nova Grey: The standard choice for darker vitrified tiles, porcelain slabs, ceramic flooring, and dark natural stones like black granite.
• weberset nova White: Formulated with high-purity white cement, making it essential for light-colored marbles (such as Italian or Carrara marble), translucent quartzites, and glass mosaic tiles to prevent dark shadowing or discoloration.
