What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
I thought it's about time we had some new uptodate figures in for 2008 tile adhesive usage.
NEW: NOTE THAT THERE IS A POLL HERE TOO - If you had to buy an adhesive based on price alone...which would it be?

Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
I have used a lot more Mapei this year......didn't realise how good a product it was....
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Bal Adhesive and grout always
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Mainly BAL, but have been using a bit more Mapei lately and the Toppfix from Topps isnt bad for price (made by Palace)
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Granfix Supergrip for me!
Does exactly what it says on the tub.
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
stonefix powder beats the rest
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
I've been using Palace gear (it's bagged up as Excel Bond at Tile Clearing House stores) and to be honest it's dirt cheap and does what it's supposed to do.
I don't understand why some traders would spend Ł25.99 on a BAL product when at a Tile Clearing House you can get the same stuff for Ł13.50!!
My local one in Orpington, Kent has just started selling a slow-set white powder adhesive for walls and floors, interior and exterior, for Ł12.99 a 20kg bag. Can anyone beat that??
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Palace is the bulk of what I use but mapei when I can get my hands on it for walls. Soverign porcel flex grey for floors

Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
BAL and Profix, which is BAL anyway.
Closely followed by Weber and Travis Perkins own.
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
BAL= living in the stone age! mapei are the biggest manufacturers of building products in the world - get with it !
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
BAL for me mostly cos I couldn't get anything else until CTD opened recently!!!

Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?

Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
bal dose all i ask
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
were do you get the bal from bds. any cheap supplier
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Topps or swedicor,,mainly from topps cos i get it cheaper from them,,
Re: What Tile Adhesive Did You Use Most During 2008?
Granfix all day long - although supergrip is a bit hard on the back and wrist - moving on to palace or webber in the new year (super grip only)
Bal - over rated and def over priced
