Can it be made multi choice Neale? I could do with ticking 2 boxes.

 

[Lee@emctiles]

This could be quite interesting this year

 

[White Room]

I have 2 choices as well....

 

[Dougs Third Go]

mainly tilemaster for me, but also kerakoll on a few occasions.

 

[demi34]

Bal for me 100 percent

 

[johnryan]

i ticked weber as i use that the most (60-70%) but still use ardex and mapei a fair bit too. would try tilemaster too if i could find somewhere local to get it.

 

[jonnyc]

I predict Tilemaster will do very well at the cost of some of the top brands and this will make a big impact on the overall result. I say they will triple last years votes.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Weber/ardex here, you need two option for most of us !!!!!!.......

 

[mma]

Weber/Tilemaster. Probably used Weber more.

 

[tommyzooom]

Probably Larsen for me unfortunately.

 

[Ian]

Weber is what I've used for 80% of my work this year. I have done about 250 m2 of anhydrite this year and used anhyfix from tilemaster for that.

 

[jonnyc]

thought some might be interested to know why i changed to setaflex white last year.
apart from cost which is one key as probably use about 40-45 palletts a year just adhesive, mark of tilemaster talked to me about what i was after in an adheisve .
I explained good workability and non slumping with thick bed under quite heavy stone but most importantly needed to be able have enough time to adjust a large module of stone say 4.00 mts/ a long course of stone or uneven sized reclaimed .
We would need an hour or more sometimes but it was still imperative that the adhesive was a fast set and dried within its self so moisture not migrating up though stone.
he then said that he could manufacture retarded fast which would give ius that time especially in the summer.
i tried it out and that was the clincher for us as stonefixers.
you do need to make sure ok to walk on next day but then the rapid setting procedure kicks in and this helped me so much.
does anyone know anyone else doing this because i dont

Mapies's new low dust is so good I use it all the time now
