I've fixed gulf stone with ptb and no issues. I am aware topps recommend it but I'm also aware that most topps staff can't spell their own names. That said, gulf stone is the best and the only one I'd use ptb on. If you go that route, speak to Dave Wilson at bal technical and also get topps store manager to put it in writing.

I used a mapei addy, powder and latex, the latex turned out to be sbr...£50 for both:confused:

Weber set plus and AD250 is a much cheaper product to use.

I don't see how any adhesive manufacturer would give approval for not using a 2 part when the boxes that gulfstone comes in specifically states 'use only latex based tile adhesive'

@mma and other members interested.
This is what you need to know when fitting Quartz Gulf Stone

As per fitting instructions posted earlier, use 2 part laytex base adhesive.

Spoke to Gulf Stone Tile Quartz Floor and Wall Tiles UK - Home

just now, they told me it is ok to use with ufh but ONLY the electric wire type, NOT wet based in screed type.
They also told me stone comes pre sealed and there is no need to seal, but if you wanted to they recommend Lithofin.

So if you want to take the advice of some of these tile shop's and adhesive manufacturers who give different recommendations to that of the tile manufacturers be it at your own risk and get it in writing from them.

Hope this help's

@mma hope you feel confident enough now to put your quote together and are able to give your client details of what materials they need to buy and why.
A well presented quote with detailed fixing method and a few links to websites to back up your explanation should win you the job.
Good luck
