Hi.
Ok, I am officially confused and a little disappointed in the lack of knowledge of behind the counter staff at a local tile retailer. Argh
My problem is I try to do a great job and read too much. Haha.
I have got my ensuite to a stage read for tile. The shower tray is in, walls tanked. (I can't remember the brand name of the tanking system)
I started reading up on the correct type of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ to use in the shower area and come across a site listing British Standard and classes for adhesives. So I thought I needed a D2TE https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.
I went into a retailer and all three staff just looked blank. When I tried explain, in my limited knowledge, one even said, oh, BS, they're just numbers some guy in an office makes up. At that point he lost all credibility in my eyes.
They handed me the phone to speak to a Rep from Mapei. He was much more helpful. I explained the shower setup and informed him I was a absolute beginner, so asked if a standard set https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ would be better suited to my skill set. He agreed. He suggested Keraflex maxi s1. Standard set https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.
I was about to look for suppliers when I read that this was a C2TES1.
Now I'm confused.
1. What BS class of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ do I need and
2. Which products fulfil that specification?
