Bal Grip for Large tiles? - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

Hi,

Was told by the tile shop the other day that you can use bal grip for some 316mm x 450mm ceramics that i'll be laying, anyone else used it on tiles that size?

Cheers,

Nick

I wouldnt, get some bagged adhesive and sleep well at night.

For that size of tile I would be using cementious addy.

But don’t forget to prime the walls as cement based adhesives will not stick to gypsum based back grounds.

You`ll find cementious stuff is much easier to work with as well mate!

ive used grip on tiles off that size but needed battons still as it was slipping, so id agree with the others bagged addy

Cement addy all the way. I wouldn't trust the tile shop with any other advice if I was you. Was it Topps?? They often talk out of their rear ends.

Yep, I know. Even when I turn up in my sign written van and embroidered t-shirt they still try and tell me how to do my job - LMFAO!
