Tile Adhesive Poll 2008 - Best Tile Adhesive For Walls And Floors?

[Sully]

BAL for me everytime. Some may say it's overpriced but you're not just buying a bag of adhesive, your paying for tech support (which for example Profix / Dunlop don't offer to the same extent) and piece of mind.

You pay's your money, you gets your product and you walk of a job with a bit more piece of mind :yesnod:.

I used granfix on my tiling course 2 years ago,has it got any better from then?

 

[garyc4507]

theres only one adhesive for me its bal with an a1 back up :83: you can shove your cheap granfix :santa_cheesy:

 

[stev1904]

profix have had no problems with it :gettree::46: Wall adhesive I use Bal Mapie or Webber which ever I can get the cheapest at the time

 

[bobbin]

Benfer for me, never had a problem, and works exactly how I need it too. If I ever have a problem, then I will more than likely go to BAL. Until then, I'll stick to me guns. :83:

 

[groutpad]

yep i would go for Bal any day

Mostly mapei for me on the floor and walls, however I do use a lot of Granfix supergrip for kitchens - excellent consistancy and non-slip properties.:gettree:

 

[poynton phil]

mapie for me, no probs whatever!! :dizzy2:

 

[demi34]

bal-bal-bal for me:santa_cheesy:

Granfix for me. Their supergrip adhesive is the best non slip adhesive in the business.

Been using a lot of mapei recently which is good but costs nearly double the money. I get a tub of granfix for £5.50

I've been using Palace gear (it's bagged up as Excel Bond at Tile Clearing House stores) and to be honest it's dirt cheap and does what it's supposed to do.

I don't understand why some traders would spend £25.99 on a BAL product when at a Tile Clearing House you can get the same stuff for £13.50!!

My local one in Orpington, Kent has just started selling a slow-set white powder adhesive for walls and floors, interior and exterior, for £12.99 a 20kg bag. Can anyone beat that??

buying adhesive is like anything else, if you buy a cake with no sugar in it its still a cake just not as good because it doesnt have all the ingrediants.
BAL and MAPEI have all the ingrediants

 

[keraldine]

dont forget weber , great prices!!

 

[tile55]

Granfix for me. Their supergrip adhesive is the best non slip adhesive in the business.

Totally agree Granfix - Supergrip does exactly what it says on the tin.:83:

 

[MJT]

Mapei for me never had any problems with it

 

[d noulton]

I think what your local stockists have available can determine what brand you buy

 

[demi34]

BAL FOR ME:hurray:

 

[hillhead]

Mapei for me,keraflex and mapeker mainly.

 

[devonmark]

mapei for me, but I have started to use bal supercover as it's 'kin wonderful to work with...

 

[Leatherface]

Mapei only

 

[Aztectiler]

Mapei is the adhesive of choice for me but have used also PCI and Bal but always prefer Mapei because it does exactly what it claims

 

[demi34]

bal for me 100%

 

[R Montgomery]

Marble and Granite set from Custom Building Products and Laticrete's Platinum.Both excellent.

 

[bootsmckiber]

Hi guy's,gal's,Man U supporters,I guess no one else matters.I see again by your poll that Bal comes out on top of your poll,we don't have Bal product over here and although more expensive than other brands Mapai is tops here bar none.Just curious as to the prices of Bal product,using Mapaei as your guidelines what are the prices of bal compared to Mapei

 

[DHTiling]

BAL is very expensive over here...

 

[demi34]

i get bal from topps

 

[Andy Tiler]

WEBER all day long they have an extensive range of products. bal quality at palace prices

 

[brian c]

Mapei Kerraquick .

 

[kmstiling]

Ultra for walls and benfer for floors and both are very good

 

[faithhealer]

Think I used about 8 different brands of addy last year, Haven't voted because I honestly can't say which one I used most of.
