bal adhesive for wet room floor

[Gazzer]

I have to do a wet room next week. Its being tanked out and then a Heated floor is being laid. The tiles are ceramic 300x300 in the main floor and 50mm mosaic in the shower area. The sub floor is boarded and no problems with flex at all.
So whats the best BAL adhesive to use.
Please note only BAL as thats my choice.

Either this or the rapid flex is great for this type of installation...if tiles are marble then go with white not grey.....Gaz:yes:

I was thinking Rapid Flex but i have never used it in a shower before so i wasnt sure. Idealy i would like to use the single part for ease but i have lots of faith in the 2 part rapid flex.....choices choices

If you have enough money built into the job fastflex/polymer but it is probably overkill, single part flex rapid or not, can handle wet room and UFH temperatures no problem whatsoever...have used both with UFH countless times, never a comeback :yes:.....Gaz

Single part it is then.

Have to agree with Gaz, don't see the need for Fastflex if floor is rigid. (I hate the stuff anyway!)
