Default Mapei to go into large stores??

I heard a rumble that Mapei were doing a deal with the likes of B&Q or similar to have their adhesives in store, under Mapei brand. Anyone seen this as yet?

I'm sure one of the Mapei guys on here will confirm this in a month or so...

Its already in Trade Depot so who cares. You are not that likely to use B&Q for all adhesives and grouts even if it is Mapei but last week on Sunday the contractor were i was working was short of Anthracite grout,,,,would have been useful then. As long as Mapei dont compromise the quality of teh materials i see no problem....it will stil be cheaper at your local TILE dealer.

That's brilliant news for Mapei, they're the UK's largest tile seller and have been for some time.
