Has anyone used an adhesive called Benfer?

Yep it's all I use generally and it's bloomin good stuff IMO

What's the job you got?

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Its only a small 5m downstairs toilet. Ceramic 250x250. Is it suitable for porcelain?

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Which Benfer is it? there's probably about 6 different flavours of Benfer

 

[John Benton]

Certainly is also with UFH

Benferflex c2 bianco 25kg extended

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Yes it is. Its a slow-set that one. There's another rapid white flex, or standard benferflex grey will do. There's another 2-3 that will probably do the job also...

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

I was just a little weary as its only £12 for 25kg white flexi. Had tbis bag free to try so cant complain.

John u used the grouts?

 

[Martyn Leeds]

that's very good for £12. I like to use the slow on walls.

 

[John Benton]

Same as I pay for white flexi

Never used the grouts, strangely enough my supplier as far as I'm aware don't stock their grouts.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Think I might try some and let you guys know.

Superb adhesive is Benfer C2 and I have used it continually for the last 4 years and so has the Spanish tiler. It has never once let us down on stone, large format, wetrooms, heated floors, etc. It is a S1 and 25kg. Certainly do not be put off by the price and look at it as a cracking product at an amazing price. I have just purchased 80 bags for porcelain on a heated floor so a massive saving compared to if I had paid around the £18 - £20 for a 20kgof another brand.
