Apologies if this has been asked before and I suspect all tilers have their individual preferences, but I would appreciate some feedback as my tiler is recommending an adhesive/grout that I've never heard of, well, it's not one of the best known, but possibly you guys are aware of it.
I have fitted a DIY wet UFH heating system supplied by OMNIE. It uses their 22mm routed tor-floor boards and it will be overboarded with 9mm glued and screwed ply to give a good solid floor.
Omnie produce a document recommending the following Tilemaster system specification for tiling over their boards:
My tiler would prefer to use his own adhesive and grout, which he will supply. As I am preparing the floor for him (partly due to his lack of availability) I've decided it would make sense to use all products from his preferred manufacturer, so this is what would be used:
I have never heard of Rocatex, but at the end of the day I'm trusting my tiler to use products that will do the job as well as the tried and tested Tilemaster products recommended by OMNIE.
Anyone else used Rocatex? How does it compare to Tilemaster products?
Thanks.

Omnie produce a document recommending the following Tilemaster system specification for tiling over their boards:
- Tilemaster Prime Plus for priming the ply boards (although this isn't strictly necessary for new plywood)
- Tilemaster anti-fracture mat fixed with Tilemaster Ultimate adhesive
- Tilemaster Ultimate adhesive for fixing the tiles
- Tilemaster Grout 3000 for grouting
