I am working on Mapei's lightweight adhesives offer and wondered what fixers thought of the light weights on the market.

Do you use them?
Do you see an advantage in using them?

never heard of them but it sounds like a really good idea as a lot of people are now using heavier tiles such as porcelain and travertine on walls and don't want the expense of re-sheeting to a product that can carry the weight more efficiently

ive used nanolight good adhesive but not worth the extra cost imo if you can price them right then great, is adsilex p10 a light weight ?as i have used this as well

Saw it in this months stone mag. Have not seen in the shops yet, but if its more money I won't use it.

Im afraid im in the dark about this one, could someone enlighten me?

Mapei showing its prowess yet again,good woman fiona,price comes into it a lot but i'm certain you have nothing to do with that.The light stuff is a definite advantage on heavy tiles on walls.

I'm alittle in the dark on this one aswell, but I'll take a stab at it

I "think" it is a product that goes further, but weighs less. I.E You get 5sqm from a 20KG bag, but with the lightweight stuff you get 7sqm from a 15KG Bag. If that makes any sense?

keep us posted Fiona, might help on those borderline weight issues

I think this is what mapei are on about..

Mapei ultralite S1

ive used pcis nanolight and it claims a 15kg covers the same as a 25kg bag of normal gear, the advantage to me would seem to be less strain on the old back ...

Must admit never heard of it but read with interest
