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

I used PCI grout for the first time the other day - new tile shop swore it was the dogs for flexi floors etc. And the customer had specified he wanted it. Not happy about not using me own gear....

Guess what - I have had my first call back. Grout is cracking.

Used Granfix on 3 tile repairs upstairs in the same house on boards. Low and behold, no cracks.

PCI - Absolute utter crap. Very dissapointed.

Although this is an old thread ,i use PCI adhesive and grout on all my floor jobs and sontex adhesive and aquafug on walls.NEVER had any problems at all with grout cracking,maybe it wasnt mixed enough or something but i highly recommend BASF PCI products.

Re: What adhesive brand do you trust most?

Is there anything cheaper and as good as mapei keraquick?
I'm paying just over £20 per bag trade for this, but i cant seem to find anyone else
that does something similar in white that isnt rapid set.

Seems like a lot of choice (and a lot cheaper) for rapid set - but anything with a longer open time in white and its double the price for the privilige.

I find that BAL is the best product around here, Have used Unibond but had problems and had to re-fix nearly a whole floor. Not sure if it was a bad batch ut defo using BAL from now on.

 

[Perry]

mwss77 how much would you have to pay for bal ptb ?

addys

as i dont really have a preference for addys il go where the job is,

if in edinburgh east its bal, expensive but good
if in edinburgh west its dunlop, cheap and never had any problems
if in fife west ts granfix, very good and good prices
if in fife east its nicobond or dunlop again never had any problems

i think that as bal has a good name, people will use it, it is expensive and with a good guarantee but people balk at the price that you can get it for even at trade rates

for dunlop i pay roughly a half of what bal is, same for nicobond and granfix so easy way to make a little pocket money on addys and still give punter a good discount etc

bal ptb costs me £13.53 + vat my last job used 600 bags there guarantee is good until you have a problem i found they only help if it dosnt cost them anything so if i can get a good product at a beter price 600x4=2400 nice beer tokens

I've added Larsen PCI and Weber to the Poll. Obviously BAL seem to be taking the lead a bit.
