Which brand of Grout do you prefer to use?

I said bal but it matters whats available in your local area

Ardex the best by Far !
The Ardex FL grey floor grout is much better than bal ,seen too many jobs where the Bal Flexigout drys patchy ! And for the walls Ardex FS white is much whiter than the bal microban

I like the BAL, but the only thing I have noticed with the coloured grout is that no matter how well I mix it when cleaning it down sometimes the colour smears.

i use BAL when i can, never had a come back from it. i have had major EFF up's from using stuff supplied by customers though.... OH yea, i have been finding granfix ready mixed standard wall tile adhesive has let me down a couple of time too.

Same as Adhesive - Howtex/Weber here. Because its what my tile shop sells me. As it works a treat I have had no reason to doubt them - its cheap and works really well.

Got sold some BAL 2 part stuff for a small basin top recently - hated it - yuk. I must admit it was very white, and no doubt doesn't attract mould etc. But I hated cleaning it up. Its so oily. Ended up using some washing up liquid to get rid of the it, where it had marked the floor, as just rubbing with water just smeared it all over the place. Won't be rushing back to use it. Far prefer the Howtex stuff.

PS - anyone know the connection between Weber & CTD? Every time I've asked about Weber in CTD they always quote "we own that company - however we don't stock their stuff" Is that true? That they own them - I wonder? Would seem weird if they do - as they don't stock it.

Since the thread started I now have access to mapei grouts and tend to use them now
