I used to use granfix adhesives a few years ago....can anybody tell me what they are like now...??..

I'm also the same ..used it many yrs ago, would be very interested to find out their products compare. If anyone uses it often can you let us know please

[laurami tiling]

i use granfix a lot ,
the ultimate flex single part floor addy is pretty good for timber floors ,laying it is like trying to trowel chewing gum but no worse than bal fastflex lol.
the tubbed multifix is a white slightly flexi ready to use addy thats also self priming, so saves a bit time there.
the grouts i like better than bal especially the wide joint single part flexi gear as i find its a lot easier to clean up tiles after ,

what i want to is whats ardex like to use lol.

Granfix Products Benefit New Luxury Spa
The Macdonald Old England Hotel in Bowness-in-Windemere has been hailed by industry insiders as the most luxurious and advanced in The Lakes.
Granfix Products were delighted to once again team up with Lancashire Tiling to provide the perfect tile fixing solution for a most impressive new health club and spa facility in the Lake District.
Since its opening in November 2007, the new £10 million state-of-the-art spa at The Macdonald Old England Hotel in Bowness-in-Windemere has been hailed by industry insiders as the most luxurious and advanced in The Lakes. The facilities include a thermal suite, experience and thermal showers, a rock sauna, an infra red sauna and cooling ice room. In addition there is a relaxation room, a 20m swimming pool with an outside terrace overlooking Lake Windermere, and a techno gym. Kay Harrison Mann, Macdonald Hotels regional manager for the Lakes said: “The fantastic new spa facilities boast state of the art design and finish – offering a glamorous and serene experience for our guests”.
Lancashire Tiling were commissioned to fix the new tiles throughout the changing rooms and the swimming pool surround. Granfix 1 Part Flexible Rapidset tile adhesive for walls and floors was used to commence the project. Developed as an easy to apply, cement based adhesive that does not require an admix, Granfix 1 Part Flexible Rapidset is ideal for fixing a variety of tiles including ceramics, slate, quarries, porcelain, vitrified and semi-vitrified, limestone, terrazzo and mosaics. The rapid set formula enables grouting to commence just 2 hours after application, ensuring minimum down time. “From the very beginning Macdonald Hotels had a vision to create a truly outstanding health club and spa that would wow their guests and members. Everything about the spa is first class and we were delighted to work with Granfix Products to ensure that the tiling installation stage maintained the high standards of this superb new facility at The Macdonald Old England Hotel”, enthused Stephen Knowles of Lancashire Tiling.

I use granfix rapid set floor adhesive quite often ,but i have a slight problem with it,it take's far to long to go off.

No good on a small floor .

Dan you must be able to get loads of freebies for us to try out so why dont you get all the reps from the big company's to sort us out with some of there product's and lets see what we think is the best to use everybody on here likes to use bal because its the best but is it it the easiest to use

[Dave]

There seems to be a few threads popping up about having problems with granfix grouts drying patchy.....Has anybody else had problems as well and which grout was it..( wall or floor or normal or flexi.)...just trying to find out which one most peeps have had probs with...?????

[dave_online]

Just used granfix grouts for the first time for one of my customers :

They have a nice selection of grout thats has a slight variation on the mapi grout i usually use:

Its just to awkward trying to explain to the customers the colours , they dont send colour sticks out like mapi.

"well that what they say " lol

Anyway the black grout with a silver glitter looks good on completion.

I used for the first time recently and it quite nice to use but don't leave the rapid on to long before it's cleaned off

[Daz]

By co-incidence I used Granfix black wall grout today. I found it very course and as WB says it goes off really quick. The end result was nice but it did take a lot of sweat to get there.

I much prefer Mapei or Ardex, even Bal at a push .

[whitebeam]

Sweating, I was dripping

Seemed a bit course for 2mm joints as stated

[newton&stockley]

I used to use it, the black is too course and the ivory had dried a patchy colour (luckly it was in my own house, dont like trying new products). I stick with BAL grouts, plus the selection board ive got works wonders with clients

[dave_online]

Like you say that was granfix and I agree as I have used it , very course not enough glitter.
But i would recommend the mapei after trying it for some reason unknown to me it was easier to apply than the granfix a bit easier to clean to tell the truth ,just make sure you have sponges and clothes ,then throw away.

[newton&stockley]

always use new buckets, sponges, clothes for grouting. it didn't discolour till it dried. If it was at a clients house I would of removed the grout and started again (im a bit anal)lol
