What are you tiling onto?

Are you a professional tiler? (noticed your username)
If you are, you should really know this - if you aren't, you should perhaps change your username so you don't mislead potential customers of other tilers on here.
 
Firstly most likely marmox/pb
Secondley i have already explained my situation/experience to you @Dan specificley in another post
Thirdly since you had (noticed the username ) suprised you hadnt noticed that i had not sent you a email or message saying that im a tiling business or anything similar also that if i was looking for customers you would have noticed that i dont have any business number/info on my profile for me to be givving to "potential customers of tilers on here".
And should i recive such a offer from a customer i shall be the 1st one to send them to you.
Lastley i thouhht this was a forum about "tiling" so the name isue you have is baffling to me.
Also just for your piece of mind even if i was an established expericed tiler i woudnt be hunting for customers on here. Hope this clears things up :cool:

lots of good adhesives & grouts to pick from, it will eventually come down to personal preference.

Tilemaster Setaflex is a good adhesive and i'd use it on every job but suppliers are short here and one recently closed down which leaves me with one supplier that isn't quite trade prices. Their grout and Silicon are good also so i'd check for them first if you can get them local.

I also use BAL and recently starting using some Mapei, if there is a good offer on that will also sway me as to what i use especially with BAL as it can be a bit pricey.

Most of these brands have a good grout selection colour also, for your situation i'd probably use a white slow set adhesive, white grout for the walls and for the floor i'm not sure without seeing the tiles, i normally push for a grey on the floor but TM (and others) have some browns that may tie in better.

Good luck and let us know how you get on with whatever you choose :thumbsup:
 
Thanks @Tony_C glad to hear some good advice rather than questioning peoples abilty/experience and motive like some.others on this post.
I have heard good things about TM but never used it have only realy tried mapei which the adhesive is fine but wasnt 100% on their grout.
The floor i was thinking some shade of brown dont want to contrast it with light color on floor incase of it getting dirty. Will try uploading pics of tiles imabit.
Thanks
