Hi again,

My wife has changed her mind :mad2: and we have now brought beige floor porcelain tiles 400mm x 400mm for the upstairs bathroom floor.
As per above, I am laying 6mm backer boards to plywood floor and then tiling on top,is Bal single part flex or Mapei keraflex still good for porcelain tiles ?

Thanks for all you help,
Yes they are.

Hi,
I am a DIYer and am 3/4 of the way through a bathroom with 300x600 porcelain tiles. I tiled onto plyboard floor and went for Mapei Keraflex Maxi in the end. It was a fraction of the cost of Bal and highly recommended here. I paid less than £14 for a 20kg bag from CTD, which seemed a good deal for a non trade person. The Bal SPF seemed to be close to twice that. Only draw back is long setting time for on the floor (24hrs). This was fine for me as I have another bathroom in the house, but if you want to be able to walk in after a couple of hours then Keraquick seemed to be the recommened adhesive.
Cheers
Iain
