    BAL Kubala grout float review

    I received a kubala grout float to try and give a review. In comparison to my Rubi float it had the same footprint size. But I noticed it was a lot lighter and it looked thinner. I used it to grout 3.5m2 of floor tiles and found it incredibly light in my hand and was leaving very clean lines. I...

    Bal Single Part Flexible-how long before using shower

    Hi all, As the title suggests really. I'm tiling a shower area above a bath using Bal SPF and noticed the instructions say you shouldn't use a shower for 2 weeks afterwards. Seems a long time to ask the tenant not to use his shower after it's finished-is it really necessary to wait that long...

    Hello. I am looking for a suitable grout for a bathroom which contains a wet shower area. I was looking at the BAL range of grouts and felt MicroMax 2 (gunmetal shade) would be suitable but given the many types BAL advertise I wasn't sure it was the best choice. I had thought to use the same...

    Seems BAL are giving this forum lark another go. 4 admins, 18 or so moderators. 40 threads. That's two threads each to moderate. And most of the threads have no replies, and are nearly all done by staff. Their attempt to get the PVA v Primers discussion going shows why it's hard for a company...

    The football season starts this weekend which means less weekend work and more boozing...... Who do we all follow then and how do you think your team will do this year, I am a Wigan fan and predict a struggle but won't be relegated.

    BAL Tiling Onto New Felted Balcony

    Hi ya guys! I live in a flat, and as such I have to run most structural things by a maintenance company for approval. I recently decided to fix my leaking balcony, and had a builder and roofer come around. The overall opinion was a combo of an old patio door allowing water in through rotten...
