Grace Construction Products today announced Bondera™ TileMatSet (www.bonderatilematset.com) has received the Handyman Club of America’s “Member Tested & Recommended” seal of approval after 100% of Bondera testers indicated they would recommended the product. Sixty homeowners across the country tested Bondera, a tile adhesive that uses advanced pressure-sensitive technology to eliminate the need for mortar and mastic, on a variety of tiling projects around their homes.

“The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from the Handyman Club of America’s product testers confirms that using Bondera for tiling projects is an easy way to add style and value to a home without the headaches of mortar and mastic,” said Rob Madore, Bondera product manager at Grace Construction Products. “Bondera’s innovative design is what makes it a winning product with the Handyman Club of America and DIY tilers everywhere.”

The Handyman Club of America product testers evaluated Bondera based on performance, quality, design, ease of installation, durability, size, versatility, finished look, convenience and rating against similar products. Bondera received an overall score of nine out of 10 and 100% of testers indicated they would recommend Bondera.

Bondera product testers agree that installation was simple and the results were outstanding:

• “Having been a tile installer in the past, and having tried just about every trick and gimmick out there, I was a little doubtful when I first opened the box. But it only took a couple minutes to realize that Bondera had really done their homework with the TileMatSet. With minor work surface prep-work, the product went up flawlessly, no mess, no fuss, and the tile setting was a breeze. I would recommend Bondera TileMatSet to anyone that I heard was planning a tile job. Great work Bondera - A++.” - Reverend Doctor Marshall W. Snead
• “This product is a real time saver. Not only is it great for the homeowner but a professional would save money and time on smaller jobs.” – Michael Ward
• “The best feature is that you can remove and reposition the tiles as you working with them. It was very convenient for us. I also like that we could grout in the same day making our kitchen backsplash a one day project.” – Jason Phelps
