** Tile Giant Trade Discount for TF Arms Members Only! **

[DavieA]

That sounds like it could be the reason for surerrr: Makes sense.

But its still dissapointing, guess ill have to speed up.

Cheers

I can take a stab at the reason why, but it will be a pure guess and not official :lol:

I would imagine the products on the extra discount list are products TG as a company sell alot of. If Keraflex only sells well in a couple of stores, I don't think it would be added to the extra TF discount.

Just my guess :lol:

i dont think keraflex sells in ONLY A COUPLE OF STORES!,
mapei is the fastest growing adhesive company in the world,
and no doubt tile giant make a good profit from the adhesives they supply your company!

not to mention that in my local tile giant there stuff seems to be your main adhesive supplier if not your only adhesive supplier!

but i do understand that this is the companys BREAD AND BUTTER!

and personally i think tile giant will overtake topps as they stock bal,
which in my opnion is a lesser product!

I have no doubt that Keraflex is a popular addy. I have worked in two TG stores and neither of them sold any Keraflex. I am sure it sells well in some stores, but in TG as a whole, I imagine it doesn't sell particularly well

Just my guess and please don't take it as an official reply for TG as I honestly don't know how well it sells in other stores.

so what other single part, slow set, flexable adhesives suitable for underfloor heating do tile giant sell?

i only ask because in the stores nearest me, brixton, old kent, dulwich and croydon you can hardly move for the bags of addy!

and this is an apraisal, its great gear!

We only sell Mapei addys. So, there is no other slowset, SPF. Keraquick is probably one of our biggest selling addys. I think every store has a huge amount of addy in stock, as we sell ALOT.

Now that I have dug a hole for myself, hopefully Nathan will give the official reason as to why Keraflex isn't on the extra discount list :lol:

Matt you missed some slow sets for ufh on concrete floors..:smilewinkgrin:

 

[tubs]

Talking of keraquick does anyone use it on walls day in day out or is it still too rapid setting for that, its seems to set slow on the floor so wondering if anyone has experience of using a rapid setting adheisve on the walls ?

I do. When it comes to the small cuts, fiddly bits, just knock a bit up................

thanks matt for your candid remarks, all credit to you and your employer for taking on this forum (as sponsors) and mapei (as suppliers),
it will help all installers in the end!

Well done!

The list of products on offer are ones that have traditionally been the best sellers with the trade. I take all your points on board and I will have a look at sales of Keraflex and see what we can do.
