using ardex products...

[Flintstone]

A lot of people on here mention Ardex products for various things. Having never used any due to not ever seing it on sale or knowing a great deal about it, I want to know more.
Which Ardex products do you use regularly, or which ones do a particular job perfectly to solve a problem ?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

The adhesive is good for sticking tiles to walls and floor

 

[J Sid]

always use the Ardex grout, great colour selection.

also use X7 adhesive very good and often on buy 2 get 1 free at CTD

 

[hmtiling]

X7001 for very sensitive stone. It binds the majority of mix water eliminating bleed or darkening

 

[Simons70]

77 for metro tiles,you can start on top.

The WPC tanking kit is the best on the market , then the Arditex NA leveller is the best to go over old glue and bitumen residue , they have a rapid setting wall render called AM 100 it is fast track render the walls then tile then next day no waiting a week for plaster to dry and has greater weight limits
All their products are excellent, they have epoxy primers and a hybrid epoxy grout which is really good

A 45 rapid screed . Lay it short drying then tile .

@Localtiler if I'm not mistaken Ardex were the first to bring rapid set to the market. All their products are excellent and they have a product to cover nearly every reasonable scenario. Their products do cost a bit more than others out there but you do get what you pay for. Their a brand that you can absolutely trust imo.

What sort of places stock it, are they readily available? I've heard of people rendering out bad walls with Ardex stuff. Over plaster etc ?

When I purchased everything through Tiles Uk at Salford...or Manchester wall and floor as it used to be called Ardex was all I would use S16, X7 and ardion 90 etc etc, fantastic products, and yes the tanking system is top banana.

Don't forget AF200 for sticking down Ditra. Stick it down with this stuff and you can start tiling straight away. Even if you have to lift a tile, the glue under the Ditra will re-stick itself.

I get mine from CTD.

Ardex AM100 is a great rapid setting render. Their grouts are great the FS is lovely, the FL is similar to Mapei Ultracolour in that it goes off quick. Their so called hybrid epoxy EG 8 is awful. Apart from that you cant go much wrong with Ardex.
