Tiling Cost - TilersForums.com

Just doing some rought sums for tiling over floorboards. My understanding is that on the WBP ply you use something like BAL fastflex powder and liquid, but according to the BAL product sheet you use about 3Kg of the stuff per square metre. And since it comes in 7.5Kg bags, you're getting just over 2 sq metres per bag....which works out VERY expensive!
Somebody please explain how I've got my sums wrong...surely it can't be this expensive?!?!

Hi scoobs......fastflex is not cheap........try using ardex 7001 or maybe a mapei adhesive.......

ARDEX-FLEX 7001 Timber System from ARDEX UK

Yikes...so I didn't misunderstand the product sheet! Where's the best (cheapest) place to buy adhesive like this? Thanks.

You will get either of them from any CTD store.......

Hi all
The BAL FASTFLEX is a two part adhesive 7.5kg powder + 5 litre liquid, this equates to 12.5kg. @ 3kg per m2 that’s approximately 4m2 from one unit, i.e 1 bag + 1 bottle.
Hope this helps
