Which tile adhesive/grout to use?

[Guru86]

Great thanks I am looking at using the MAPEI Keraquick White 5kg, Ultracolor Plus Grout Jasmine 5kg and Mapei Tile Adhesive Primer 1kg . Hopefully this will be the winning combo? With the primer is it just pasted on and allowed to dry?

The primer should be dry within 2 hours at normal tempreture.

Can't disagree with the lads all the above advice is good but weber with ad250 primer is not only cheaper its better and you get a 10 year garantee if done right it will hang 60x40 trav with ease and before anyone asks I don't work for weber

No!! but you sell it...:smilewinkgrin:

I have used alsorts over the years Leo.. and mapei knocks spots off weber from the CTD/Saint gobain group IMHO..

I have tried the weber gear and can't get away with it..

So this weber advice Leo...?,, is this as a pro fixers advice or just a pure sales advice based on price..?

I take it you also fix tiles as well as sell them..? and have full experaince of how different products cope with different materials and how the tensile strength compares..

The all give a guarantee.I used Weber for the first 3 or 4 years before I changed to Mapei and Iv never looked back. Weber is not bad, there is a hell of a lot worse addys to use but a million miles from Mapei... And no I dont work for/ sell Mapei. :smilewinkgrin:

if a customer has gone into ctd in warrington and bought tiles and adhesive, then 9 times out of ten they will have bought weber and i'll use it BUT pound for pound mapei has the best all round range of adhesives, grouts and sillicones imho and they are always my 1st and preferred choice..

First I must say sorry to girlracer yes I can fix dave I also sell ardex bal soverigh mapei. And weber and I have over one hundred pro fixers come in the shop a week and 80 % go for the later and you now how much I hate ctd I have been in the game 24 year now and it has nowt to with what's better

I agree Leo.. too many fixers are orientated by price.. a shame but they are.. This is where I and quite a few on here differ.

We prefer to use a product that we know we can be rest assured will back what guarantees we give.

I personally am not driven by a low price for an adhesive.. but saying that i will not pay high prices like Bal either..

So for me it's mapei....

But i am pleased you do sell others as well as this keeps fixers who do prefer to use another brand coming to you.
