Best Tile Adhesive for Walls - 2016 Tile Adhesives Poll Page: 5

[Dan]

As of writing the order of the top 5 is Mapei, Tilemaster, Weber, BAL, Ultra.

Well done to all companies with votes so far but super well done to those 5.

Keep the votes coming people.

I will need to remove some votes by the companies themselves near the end of the poll, but only a couple appear to have voted so far without me digging into them a bit more. Which I will do to keep it fair.

I think I voted for Rocotex just so I can see the results. Else even as admin I can't lol. Bit of a flaw maybe. But I thought I'd declare that. Thought it wouldn't skew the results of the top bunch just in case it ends up a close one.

So far it seems a really legit poll. Not many firms voting for themselves (and I assume some doing it do see the results like myself, else you simply can't see the results, so I won't remove them until near the end of the poll closure), and I can't spot any obvious cheating. Such as members registering then instantly voting then never logging on again. All votes so far seem to be from members who were on the forum well before we created the poll, and some registered before the 2015 poll but never voted on that one, which shows they just didn't have a preference then but do now.

I'll post some facts about the stats and changes over the years and the changes members have made over the years in an article at some point in a few months time. Interesting to see some have voted for their brand for a decade. Others have changed annually. Others changed, then changed back quickly. Nice to see that people do have a preference but will try others etc etc.

It's not necessarily to do with preference but availability . From what I've read about tilemaster on this forum if it was available locally I would probably give that a whirl .

Tilemaster for me great products and a great family business, and the handles on the bags are a big bonus no powder spilling out !
Keep it up guys at Tilemaster

 

[Dave]

Ultra followed by Weber .

 

[Dan]

Tilemaster!
Top quality products!!
Never had any problems.. Reasonably priced, family business, so helpful and friendly.

Looking at the last couple of years polls they've quickly come from nowhere to 2nd place so far. Beating the likes of BAL by miles who where the market leaders in the UK for a very very long time.

Well done to them. Fair to say whatever they're doing its working.

Mapei and Weber are awesome also it seems according to the guys that use it all.

Hoping to see some isomat getting used more now they're on our forum as sponsors. Maybe we need to get them send out some more samples and things?

Got to support each other where we can eh?! @ISOMAT UK

Cool. Last online yesterday too. Can't remember chatting to anybody from there so couldnt think of a name to tag lol

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Top man Mark is too. Those that have had the privilege to deal with him and TM will vouch for that.

You ask where they have come from @Dan IMHO they've been bubbling in the background for a good few years now. We first came to the attention of TM from this very forum, when tilers talk about products being consistently spot of for the job you have to (as a retailer) take notice surely.

That's bloody lovely to hear Lee thank you pal. I really really do love hearing that we've helped out. Whether retailer or tiler. And I really like hearing that people listen to these moaning bar stewards. Because be that they are. They are the ones with the incoming revenue into the whole industry. If a tiler is trusted by their customer and they say black is white, the customer is going to agree and the world turns inside out.

So to see a firm who profits from tilers (and there's no shame in profit that wasn't meant as a derogatory term) it is really nice to hear they're listening to the guys that make their business tick.

I also profit from those guys. And I've noted we have some UFH issues going on. And am working behind the scenes to make sure the likes of @JulianSidney and @Andystiletiling and @Uheat - Jake connect more.

That's my job and I'm not going to be able to stay online for the tilemasters and tile towns to find each other if I'm not doing it right.

God that sounded sick when I read it back. And not in the teens terms of sick which apparently means good. I actually felt a bit sick lol
