Tanking Kits at TOPPS - Tile Advice

[Highlander]

Hello all.

A customer I am working for purchased two Bal Tanking Kits from Topps Tiles last week. I used one kit last week date ok no probs today went to use the other kit checked the date on the tub and it was 19 months old so called Bal for advice and was advised shelf life 12 months and should not use.

So called Topps and aked them to check if they had any fresher kits in stock mmmmm says guy after checking 3 kits mmmmmm they were made in 2006 so he says he will call other stores in Scotland to see if they can get one up to me asap well he calls back and says that all the other stores kits are out of date.

So how many of you guys check the date on the tanking kits?

Well wnet to our NEW CTD store in Inverness which is not really officially open and they supplied me with a kit with right date made last month. And filled in my Trade form as well


So if anyone in Scotland is buying a tanking kit out of topps over next few days check the date on the kit. You will need to open the kit and look at the label stuck on the lid.

Cheers,


Gary

If I was you I would be looking at buying durabase wp tanking membrane you get 6 showers out of a roll at £42.00 each. No sell by date, no resins no being short and the job is a professional 1 start to finish......

have to agree with wetdecs here , when you see a shower area tanked with a waterproof membrane and one thats been painted on theres no comparison..
