Hello!
New to the forum and my first post on this after doing a bit of searching. I'd be interested to know your thoughts/experience of fitting BAL Board or Hardiebacker under the shower tray. The reason I ask is that with the build-up i'm looking at, if I installed the shower tray on the ply...

Much as I can'knock Bal for the speed in which they sent out these grout swatches(I only rang up yesterday morning.

Each and every project has different requirements. Maybe height build-up is an issue, perhaps time is an issue, or the substrate is particularly troublesome. It could be that you aren’t looking for a mat and want an adhesive that has uncoupling and anti-fracture properties.

I was looking a the two new BAL Flexbone products yesterday, and nearly made a mistake as to which way round the Flexbone 2Easy should be laid.

I’m about to tank Hardie Backer cement boards using the BAL WP1 waterproofing kit. I’m a bit confused with the Prime APD. Should I just paint this straight on, undiluted, or should I be diluting at all? If I do need to dilute, what proportions?
Cheers.

I supplied the boards, the washers, the...
Any opinions on either of these? I’m used to tilemaster setaflex but my local tile shop has just taken on ultra instead. But I’ve been looking at the rapid flex one as well. Anything to take on board before testing either?

Hi, I want to tile onto WEDI type backing board with mosaic tiles 30x27. The location is the bathroom but not around the bath area. What adhesive do you recommend? Bal Green Star, Blue Star or White Star?
sorry I know there are already many different threads on what adhesive to use for quartz tiles but I’m still a bit nervous about what advise to go with . The tiles are from tile mountain who say to use Mapei Granirapid , but I can’t get hold of it in time for when I need it . Bal technical say...
