Britflex rs versus TM ultimate - TilersForums.com

[Cris]

Hey guys . I've got a job laying quartz resin floor and wall tiles and because builder wants to supply materials I requested TM ultimate....but he just got back to saying he picked up britflex rs which he claims is as good.......your thoughts?

Two completely different adhesives..... Insist on the TM Ultimate

The Britflex is less flexible and uses more water in the mix (5 litres the the ultimates 3.6), meaning it could cause the quartz to curl due to excess moisture ingress.

If he says they're as good each other, might be a tell-tale sign you need to get someone who knows what they're talking about...... i.e. not a builder.

Sorry to be blunt.

Good old builders, there is only one reason he's got that other stuff, it will be cheaper!
What does he know about tiling with quartz tiles

 

[Cris]

rest assured i wouldnt do the job with that cack..... apparently he was told that by the premise who sold the tiles ! ... he has relented and agreed to go with ultimate after i pointed out the merits of both adhesives

something else I had to have a quiet word with him about...."ill PVA the floor before you come"
