what size tiles need bagged addy

[Gazebo]

Hi

As Goldigger said

Stronger and if you use rapid set you can grout a few hours later.

If you use normal bagged addy you can grout after 24 hours

If you use tubbed addy dependent on tile size and room conditions it can take a good few days for the addy to dry, lets say for instance 300x300mm tiles in a cold non ventilated room could take a week or longer to dry(i know i had this same problem)

If you have the luxury of time with this size tile and you find it easier to use tubbed then go ahead.

Like others on here i am a convert to powdered addy, but i would still use tubbed if the conditions allowed and the tile was smaller than 250x250.

Hope this helps

tiled a kitchen splashback recently with tubbed addy when i was grouting 2 tiles fell off:yikes: no adhesion what so ever they were only 4 inch tiles
I allways use bagged addy for bathrooms regardless of tile size same applies to kitchen splashbacks now

I am now using bagged addy for almost all jobs. Recently tried Bal Rapidset Supercover for some 10 x 10 small porcelain kitchen tiles . Quite impressed with it, easy to mix and use. Didn't quite get the coverage claimed but I did mix it quite stiff for good grab as it seemed a bit soft at the recommended mix ratios and tiles slipped if I didn't.

Will deffo use it again tho. I thought it was nicer to work with than normal rapidset.:hurray:

I normally have the 300 x 250 kind of size as the max I'd work with tubbed addy.
