    Default Adhesive & Grout Advice Please - Aquadefense / Porcelain

    My ensuite project is moving on and a bit of adhesive advice would be very greatfully received. Ive tanked the walls with Mapei Aquadefense and im about to bed cementboard onto the floorboards with Mapei Super Flexible Adhesive. I have 600x300 Ragno Porcelain tiles, which will be fitted to walls and floor. Which adhesive do i need? Also which coloured grout will be suitable? Thanks in advance for some more great advice...........

    'Stick' with the Mapei range of adhesives and the colour of the grout will be dependent on the tile colour. but again Mapei have one of the largest colour palettes for grouts.
    For the walls is there a weight limit for the Mapei Aquadefence.

    So which one of these will be the most suitable, or deemed 'best'? Mapei Flex Color or Ultracolor Plus Grout. Also what Mapei adhesive is the one to go for? Am i correct in thinking that porcelain tiles need a certain adhesive? Sorry for all the questions, but i do want it all to be 100% 'right'

    I like the ultra colour plus and a good single part flexible adhesive for the porcelain..

    Do you have a Tile Giant near you? Have a look through the link below and see where your nearest store is, would be well worth popping in and having a chat with the guys in there, they should be able to sort you out with the correct materials. The Ultracolor plus would be my choice of grout (they do loads of colours) and as said above you need at least a single part flexible adhesive
