I've quoted for a job 35 metres polished porcelain using TileMaster Ultimate onto a newly screeded Orangery. The customer has since come back saying Topps will give them a substantial discount on the tiles if they purchase the Bal adhesive in the title. Anyone out there used it? Is it any good? Can it really justify being twice the price of Ultimate?

It's very good adhesive - BAL of course.
Nice to work with too. Goes off a bit faster than TM Ultimate though.
The downside is that the customer will likely be paying about £50 a bag in order to get their discount on the tiles.
(I'd be really careful with customers like that. - a bit thick! )

There are ways you can tile the screed after a few days.

I've nothing against Bal, years ago it was always our first choice gear. I think manufacturers have caught up now though (some at least) and if you can get a comparable product for half the price from a still relatively small independent company such as TileMaster, then I'd rather go that route. As for tiling onto a green screed, agree perfectly possible with the right gear and wallet, still rather it dry though.
Exactly!! Screed should be dry but priced for Ultimate as a just in case.
Why don't you just call it a bloody conservatory then....orangery. ...really...who grows oranges in this country. ..Really Andy.
