BAL Bal Rapid Flex Fibre Plus Vs Ultimate

[Rich Midge]

I've quoted for a job 35 metres polished porcelain using TileMaster Ultimate onto a newly screeded Orangery. The customer has since come back saying Topps will give them a substantial discount on the tiles if they purchase the Bal adhesive in the title. Anyone out there used it? Is it any good? Can it really justify being twice the price of Ultimate?

 

[Rich Midge]

Am I diffrent? been in Topps twice because I thought the fist time was a mistake.

Ha! You're not alone. Been in a few times, I have the odd customer that just loves them. I think they presume the premium price = premium product. 99% of the time I get my own way over adhesives, though not this time :-(

If i dont supply the adhesive i wont give any guarantee. what I ment to say I thought they had made a mistake the first time.

In the end I googled 'when can I tile onto a new screed?' on my phone in front of them............slow realisation I might actually know a little bit about the trade!

1mm drying per day up to 75mm then double for standard screed

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
