Tilemaster vs Weber

[High Peak Tiling]

After hearing a lot of hype over Tilemaster's adhesive's etc I thought why not give them a try as they are cheaper at one of my suppliers.

So far I personally find the Flexilevel does not flow as nicely as Levelflex.

The Setaflex 'Seta's' far to fast! No matter how wet it is mixed, I turn around and it's going off!
Weber SPF however is creamy in the trowel with a smoother consistency and doesn't go off like bugg3ry. (In my opinion)

Weber joint pro on natural stone floors is a NIGHTMARE ( on several jobs) whereas grout 3000 is ... (To be continued)

Hahaha good luck mate

Weber SPF Rapid is bloody lovely........ Even talking about it makes me want to go back to work!!

Tilemaster is all I use I've never had a problem with it setting to fast?
whats flexilevel?

 

[Andy Tiler]

Oh yes I forgot it's the cheaper bigger bag! I'm sticking to levelflex never let me down!!

 

[TJ Smiler]

Gotta be honest, i have used Levelflex and actually thought it was really good

The seta flex is going off slightly too quick at the moment but the benefit of tilemaster is they will listen to you and adjust the set time to your needs , no other manufacturer will do that . If you are happy using webber then keep using it they have great products, the levelling compound is one of the best on the market,and the low dust spf is alos very nice gear. I have used tilemaster for a few years now and am very happy with them and the grout 3000 is unbeatable in my opinion for porcelain

Why stone floors specifically? I can't say I've noticed any difference with stone to be honest!?!

Stone not sufficiently sealed?
Well...I'll find out next week.......I've got 15 bags of Levelflex and 15 bags of Setaflex rapid coming!!!!

This is the grout for stone.
Stone always sealed prior to grouting but have found (as Sir knows ) it's still soft a day or so later!

I think I'm sticking with Weber's Levelflex

[MENTION=40877]Lee@TileTown[/MENTION] was explaining this to me the other day,

I am using the grout 3000 in a couple of weeks so shall see

 

[TJ Smiler]

That's odd mate, i never seem to get a problem with it............. But then since i started using Weber's products 2 years ago i have developed a slightly strange and worrying affection for most things Weber!! SPF low dust technology especially....could mix it by mouth it's so good :tt2:

Ive never had this!?! When you say soft, how soft? Still moving when you touch it? What do Weber say?
grout 3000 is good for floors, but goes off to quick for walls, for me. Also it can be too sandy at times.. I'm not sure if that's down to the colour, or poor quality control!?!

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Couple of tricks that might see you enjoy your experience using Grout 3000.....

(Im not trying to teach my nan how to suck eggs here either!)

Mixed with water using a mixer paddle, leave to stand for 2 mins, then give it another mix.
start grouting. before 10 mins is up, give it another mix.

Told this to most of fixers here and most seem to think it has made things alot better.

I've only upset G3000 once, found it similar in consistency to cal or webber (sticky and nice) I just used it as I would any other grout with no problems, dried in very nice colour with no patching.
