bal white star

[cat785]

Hi.

would the bal white star be any good for ceramic tiles to go in a bathroom?

The size of tile is 250mmx400mm. it is to be fixed on dry lined plaster board, with a few patch repairs, where previous tiles came of.

The guy in topps tiles said it should just about be ok!

Or would i be bettter geting the bal mosaic-fix tile adesive?

area to be covered is about 10 to 11 square meters.

Also would it be best to prime the old plasterboard?

just wanting some advise please, from a novice!!

Thanks.

Steve.

mapei keraquik would be the best imo and pricewise also,,mosaic fix is uneccessarily expensive if its just for ceramics

I would go with mapei Keraquick with primer G personal preference, quite big tiles those. If you need an example of the strength, see my thread Keraquick good or what? PS. I have no connection to Mapei, I just think it is top stuff

Right going to take the bal white star back to topps tiles.

I will have a credit of £50... what bal powdered product would you proffesionals recommened?

Think thats all topps tiles stock is bal!... sounds like i have chosen a expensive place to buy adesive from!

i have 10 to 11 sqm to cover... with 250x400 ceramic tiles in a bathroom.

.

Ask the man in Topps how the air is supposed to get into the middle of the tile to dry out?

Webber set plus is an ideal powder addy.

Yes that was for a 10lt tub and a 5lt tub!

Got it exchanged now for a powdered adesive.

There is not a great deal of stockists in cumbria near to where i live, so had to make do with topps!
