Re: Poll: What adhesive brand do you trust most?

They also produce ardex mate...........

Pursedog, if your new to it all go for the top brand like Bal and you cant go wrong you can relax that you know your using something that will work.....Once your confidence has grown and a bit of experience comes your way then start experimenting with some others and eventually you will just stick with one or two.

Personally i only really use Bal White star or Blue star (ie White star in showers and bathrooms and blue star for kitchen splashbacks etc....

for floors i use Bal single part flexible if on plywood or other floors that may have slight movement..

Bal Rapidset Maxibag for concrete floors or other solid surfaces like screeds and stuff

Grouting i use Bal or Ardex.

If you just stick to this mate i am pretty certain you wont get any problems.

I also know that Mapei and Granfix are supposed to be great so if in your area it's easier to get hold of these brands then you can't go wrong with these, i ain't used them but many of the more experienced tilers on here have and they swear by it so thats good enough for me.

Re: Poll: What adhesive brand do you trust most?

Looking at the poll, I see that Palace scores high, I am on with a bathroom for a frien, he has supplied ther adhesive, a 'no name' type :( but when I was reading the label it has " Palace product " on it, when asked where he got it he replied Aldi ??????

Anyone else know of any other major brands trading under different names ?

P.S. This adhesive was only £10 a tub.

Re: What adhesive brand do you trust most?

Used Bal for ages until out of convienience ran into Mapei, found it much easier to work with for some reason, covers with alot less effort (does what I want it to do, control it easier, it wants to look pretty n uniform before the tile goes on). I find the grouts take a bit more cleaning up but hey, maybe I should work a bit less messy, but a brill colour selection.
More expensive for me but worth the extra few pennies to make my life easier on a monday morning.
