Ditra v Durabases price difference OMG......

[poynton phil]

I priced up 150msq Ditra at TG, and a local tile shop and the cheapest was £2013 inc vat, at CTD Durabase £898.70 inc vat. Ok I know its on offer but thats a riddiculess difference. And its just as good, from what I'v heard

Well I don't know exactly the best price you can get for either product, but I have looked in to this quite extensively.
i currently pay £5.50 per sq mt plus vat for ditra mat from boydens of Croydon.based on me buying 5 rolls at a time.
i am sure you can get a match for this with durabase, but I personally have found it britle and more difficult to use.
i have heard of other problems with durabase but having had none myself don't feel qualified to comment.
there are members on here who have had real problems and will let them tell you about this if this thread gets picked up.

I think both durell, and genisis had problems, but durell have sorted it out now, and everywhere seems to have stopped selling the genisis gmat.
