Default Just Checking...

I'm a DIY'er

For my WP1 tanked walls in my bathroom which will be tiled with porcelain:

Bal whitestar adhesive?
Bal Superflex wall grout?

For my WBP floor in the bathroom tiled with porcelain:

Primed with Bal APD?
Bal Grip adhesive?
Bal Superflex Wall Grout?

Does that sound right?

Thanks for the fast reply

As for the superflex wide joint for the floor, does that still apply if i'm using 2mm spacers?

Many thanks

Primed with Bal APD?..............................OK
Bal Grip adhesive?..................................Bal single part flex (same as walls)
Bal Superflex Wall Grout?.........................Bal superflex FLOOR

Does that sound right?

No tubbed adhesive for the floor at all

You can use single part rapid set on the floor if your feeling brave...........and quick

Single part flexible from bal is slow setting ( 16hrs ) and has a pot life of about 5hrs...so you will be fine...
