Best Tile Adhesive for Walls - 2016 Tile Adhesives Poll

[andy-p]

Where can you get Tilemaster gear in Central Scotland ?

Dan - i'm sorry to hear about the "fake votes" and sincere apologies for our part in this.

We had asked our 3 sales reps in the ceramic industry to make their customers aware of the tile adhesive poll. Our intention wasn't to get new forum users signing up just in order to cast a vote, our intention was to make existing forum users and contractor customers who use adhesives day in day out aware of the poll so that they could log on to the forum / poll and cast a genuine vote. Unfortunately, people have got carried away.

We have also sent out a few tweets relating to the poll, not necessarily asking for followers to vote Tilemaster more to help create awareness of the forum and also trying to encourage people to take part in all topics and conversations on the forum.

We are genuinely proud to be part of this poll and I personally was very humbled to see the votes for Tilemaster increasing day by day. It was only a few years ago when we got a small handful of votes and most people responded to Tilemaster as "who"?

I look forward to seeing the new poll develop and please accept mine and Tilemaster's apologies,

Kind Regards
Mark Kelly

The results will mean a lot lot more for everybody involved now they're genuine.

That's kinda borderline salesy.

Please read the rules.

It must be said; i don't think you're doing wrong. We are. We just haven't worked out what's right for all because we're all about the tilers not the suppliers.

We need to cater for firms now not just the tilers.

Keep tabs on the Cafe. I'll be pulling something off soon and it might work.

The last product development day I attended at BAL, there were 17 tilers there and all through the day and particularly at breaks and lunchtime all I could hear was "Tilemaster" this and "Tilemaster" that!
Even better testimony to TM was that under discussion, most of the comparisons and benchmarks of test products were made against Tilemaster products!

Our annual poll has been requested and is quite late in comparison to when we usually run it.

But here it is, better late than never.

Vote for only one. Adhesive reps voting for their own brand will have their votes removed. Votes will be public. Please only vote for the brand you used most during 2016.

If you could let us know where you are buying from and which versions you are buying that'd be cool. Don't mention trade prices though please this is a public thread.

[Time's Ran Out]

Bump.

I'm going to knock up the new poll soon for 2017 but use the new voting system on the blog we have so that we can spread it around on twitter and get non members voting too. Get a real feel industry wise and get more votes than the 2016 one which was a fairly poor turn out really.

Edit: it's been done on the forum already.
