I've never used it or seen it, but I think if you follow there instructions regarding the flatness of the floor and use there adhesive I can't see it being a problem. Get a rep out if your not sure
Oh so you can't use any other flexi adhesive on it then? Cuz it won't work or no guarantee....which never hold water anyway!!

Is it a risk though, thats what I'd like to know...
If your floor is flat enough probably not . My local John Lewis just has tiles dry laid they aren't going anywhere as the floor is flat . But what I would find a pain is the mat lifting if you needed to lift a tile to reset it .

I was giving one of their reps a hard time and I put the question to him when he was banging on about guarantee and their adhesive . I said " so are you telling me it's going to fail if I use somebody else's adhesive " he said no . What it comes down to regarding guarantee's is their mat will be guaranteed , the adhesive you use will be guaranteed , it's just if its the same company they have to pay if they stand by their guarantee . If it's two different companies they will blame one another as to whose product has failed , before they decide its easier to say neither of their products are at fault and it is an instalation fault due to the tiler .

BAL adhesive isn't any different to any other S1, so it's just if you want the 25 year gaurantee or not. Personally I wouldn't be concerbed if I was to use it, but, I've no intention of using it.
Bal is much better than anything else . Talk to one of their reps and you to will see the light , all hail lord bal .
