    Its good stuff actually. Not much different from the keraquick, but not as modified. Its a lot cheaper and has a good pot life whilst still maintaining a 2 hours grout time. Give it a go, have you got an account set up?

    I'm sure it's just mapeker branded in TG logos.

    I used some when it first came out. Was nice to work with from what I remember

    Used ot today, takes longer to set than Keraquick and in my opinion not as good as Keraquick if your after total peice of mind.

    As mentioned it is based on Mapeker. Not as flex as Keraquick.

    Picked up a bag this week courtesy of Mapei at a product demonstration evening at my local TG. It is mapeker rebranded as confirmed by the rep. Can't be used with latex plus and not suitable for UFH. Used it yesterday and will be using again.

    I think you are incorrect with that..... Mapeker was always recommended as suitable for UFH, so this should be no different at all

    Mapeker is suitable for UFH and now suitable for plywood overlayed floors ( bs5385 min)... It is now called mapeker flex.. keep up lads..

    It is as flexi as keraquick imo but keraquick is the one to mixture with latex plus to achieve an S2..

    You are partialy correct matey,

    It is fine for cable heating once slc over but, it is not reccomended by Mapei for hot water piped underfloor heating.

    It is also not suitable for installing agglomerate stone.

    Can i ask where it states this please..?

    Mapeker flex is a C2f.. so IMO totally suitable for heated screeds.

    Can i just say... my advice goes for the Mapei Mapeker flex and NOT pro flexible from TG.. It is just a comparison of what pro flexible is ..adhesive wise but not actually one in the same adhesive.. pro flexible doesn't do all that Mapeker flex will..

    Thanks to tfs for the info on pro flexible..
