- Hi guys Is anyone on this forum familiar with Mapei Pro Standard tile adhesive from Tile Giant.

I will be using it to fix 300×600 ceramic tiles to studwork with 12mm no more ply on the walls and 6mm no more ply overboarding a 22mm chipboard floor. The work is in a bathroom with walk in shower […]
- Hi all, I was wondering if you can possibly help me out. Just had a tiler come and tile the downstairs hall and bathroom and i really don't think these should be looking like this.

A problem i have is that i can't get these same tiles again, these were the last of the batch which the company had and any other batches will have darker greys […]

- Hello I have a 10mx4m pool (depth average 1.5m) which is now drained due to construction work. This pool was made in 2011 and is of good quality (no leaks etc).
