CTD ultra tile adhesive

[J Sid]

I'm going to be using the ultra rapid set S1 white adhesive now being sold at CTD.
can't find a data sheet for it, has anyone got a link to it ?

best I can find is the data sheet for the Proflex SP which says:

Underfloor Heating (UFH): If UFH is being installed it must be fully commissioned before starting the tiling process to ensure it is in full working
order. This includes both electric mat and water pipe systems. Once the UFH has been commissioned it can be set to a low level to provide a max floor temperature of 15˚C whilst the tiling and grouting processes are undertaken. It is critical that this temperature is not exceeded as this can force dry the adhesive and grout with the potential of causing cracks in the installation or tiles to de-bond. Maintain this temperature for a minimum period of 7 days while the installation cures and hardens. After this time the UFH can be brought up to the required room temperature slowly at a rate of 5˚C per day. Render: When tiling to new render it must be ensured that the render is a minimum of 4 weeks old and is thoroughly strong, dry, dust and efflorescence free and stable.

not come across this recommendation with my present adhesive.
the word CAN is very hard helpful.... It SHOULD or it SHOULDN'T would be more helpful

That's a new one on me! Avoid the rapid grey Julian it's not nice to use at all

thanks for reply Andy
tried the grey and totally agree, not nice to use at all.
Can't find data sheet on CTD website for the new ultra produces they are selling.

I hate it when the advice is can or may , don't think it's much to ask to have clear advice.....

My petty hate "no need" normally associated with priming .

Ctd are useless in my opinion everything is to expensive and they do zero to help u out I stopped going in my branch about 2 years ago I stick to my independent tile shop and another national shop they help me out and sort me out good prices deliver and have passed on some real nice jobs ........ CTD SUCK

 

[Flintstone]

Pretty typical price for ultra. What what brand have you been using and why the need to swap ?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

When I used to go in ctd I used weber spf white was 17.99 a bag and I get tiler master setaflex 12 exactly basically buy 2 get 1 free

I use CTD for everything except adhesive and grout.
I much prefer tilemaster now.
I had several bags of their CTD Ultra grey to use a couple of weeks back for a mate's job (he supplied) and to be fair, it was alright to work with.
How well it actually performs - well that's his problem!

 

[Kyle Knowles]

I found they don't care about the individual all they care about is them selves poor service from my position I'd much rather deal with a independent shop ...I showed the branch manager my tile master price list and he had the cheek to say tile master is an inferior product lol and then they sell the webber trade crap. .... the cheek of the man lol

 

[Kyle Knowles]

The lads behind the counter are all good lads it's the people above if u ask me .........if u don't value my custom many other places will

Really gone off Setaflex after using about 300 bags on a job. Couldn't wait to go back to ultra spes. I'd use isomat preferably but too expensive for me

I don't like Setaflex on walls but I really like Magix on wall and floor.

 

[Flintstone]

Have you tried spes mark?

I really like the TM semi rapid for floors. I hear on the grape vine that ultra are releasing a semi rapid. Spreading setaflex on a wall is no fun it's too heavy and saggy

The reviews I've heard of magix couldn't be more mixed. I've used the rapid once to feather out a wall. It shrunk and cracked applied at approx 8mm. Won't bother again

Ultra semi rapid has been a rumour for a long time now. I heard in summer it was to be released in November gone. Just when a semi rapid is needed too
