6mm X 1m X 1m Tiles - Why So Bloody Thin?!?!

[Stef]

After being at Coverlam in Birmingham I wouldn't hold much faith in the Mapei adhesives for thin porcs.
Ask Ray or Gary as they ripped up a tile that was fitted with specd adhesive for thin porcs & it wouldn't break down the ribs enough for full coverage.

Ended up jumping on it lol still didn't spread under the tile

You & Ray were funny, wee guy from Mapei didn't know where to look.

Trouble is Stef most companies not all don't listen to the end user who has more experience using their products than any one in their factory , the chemist will produce what works on a small sample of the material

I was there that day too at Grespania. Waste of a day - aside from meeting you guys.
I learnt more from Ray and Gary than anyone from Grespania.

So true Gary, that's what I like about TileMaster, they seem to listen more to fixers instead of just palming them off.

Im on a job and neighbours joiner has just been on and asked about this foil ufh , it looks really bad , cheap and nasty , he asked my opinion , i said at least slc then matting (tilemaster) he said thats what there tiler has said but the owner has seen a video on the net where they just tile over it

Lol I spoke to wunda about drying times before turning on underfloor heating .after fixing completed .they told me 48 hours is fine as it's ready for light foot traffic .I knew this was wrong .spoke to mapei they said at least 28 days .bit of a difference .I think I'll go with mapei on this .
