mapei or granfix

[jim72]

Calling all tilers, just a short note to ask if anyone knows what is best to use. mappei or granfix adhesives/grouts. is it just a personal preference or is there one better than other.
thanks

Re: mappei or granfix

i was hoping everyone would say mappei. another tiling shop has moved along the road from us and they are selling granfix at a very low price to try and take our mappei traders off us, not working yet, but in this financial climate who knows!

Granfix, Now that threw a spanner in the works:lol:
I have used both and never had a problem with either of them!
But it is the fixers choice as wot they prefer to use, and from what i can work out most people use mappei

Re: mappei or granfix

I prefer Granfix personally, but i'm relatively new to the trade, so take that as you will hehe! It's getting harder to get round here now though, as all the tile shops seem to be shutting down.

Shops shutting is'nt good

Re: mappei or granfix

only used granfix tubbed adhesive but i prefer mapei d1 or sontex acrylic.sontex acrylic is stiff stuff with an excellent grab,so i tend to use that but use mapei spf and grouts.
