Butech from porcelanosa. Good quality, good price

 

[Gazzer]

Sadly Mapei is still hard to find around here...or should i say hard to get at a reasonable price. I can get it from my main dealer but its on 3 day order. I do insist on Mapei adhesives for certain jobs and substrates though.

 

[Stewart]

Nicobond Rapidflex, followed closely by Larsen's standard set. My two favourite addy's. Lost count of how many pallets of the stuff I've used this year.

 

[White Room]

Granfix for me but thats only because I was getting fliers thru to buy one get one free....

But do like the stuff, Benfer and Toppfix as well

 

[DHTiling]

Toppfix is palace..

 

[demi34]

bal for me

 

[Mouldy]

Nicobond Rapidflex along with their yellow readymix. also used Ardex X77

You surprise me there Neale, dont they have a warehouse in Dudley? I used to buy it by the pallet when I did all of the Fitness First clubs in the Midlands.

 

[Thespanishtiler]

benferleaderflex, benferflex rapido blanco and benferflex c2 s1 blanco std set. no tubbed

 

[doug boardley]

Ultra for me, mainly as it's just about all we get round here. But it's decent stuff to use and never had any probs with it.

 

[merlecollins]

Sovereign Porcelflex for floors and BAL SPF for walls - more floors than walls, so its a Sovereign vote for me

 

[woodie]

Granfix for me at the moment it's been very good stuff but i'm going to try something else in the near future

 

[Ceramica Tiling]

Ardex , x77, bisecm stonefix , mapei ultracolor

 

[jay]

Laticrete

 

[MTiler]

Im mainly an Ardex X7R girl, or X77 depending on job. For mosaics I use Mapei P10. Has anyone else noticed that the X7R white is easier to use than the grey? The grey goes off so much quicker in the pot than the white does.

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Mapei for me

 

[Fred]

I've been going to as shop for years that supplies Ardex & Webber. The director left recently and opened his own shop and has Webber. Webber set for porcelain as slow set at xxxxx a 20 KG bag, flexi at xxxxx I can't go wrong. Lovely stuff.

 

[bootsmckiber]

Mapei,then I can leave the job with no worries or second guessing,their Tech line is second to none,they would probably walk you through a job if you wanted them to.

 

[Bushwhacker1]

First year on the tools and i used to buy BAL throughout, simply because thats what i used when training. But, got to be honest i only use Topps (ie Palace) now which i think is just as good and cheaper. I predict Mapei will win this poll which will prove that ill have to try it sooner or later..

 

[DHTiling]

It's not about winning..?.. it is just to see what members used most during this year, we have this every year.

 

[grumbles]

Ardex and Bal for me

 

[mart08]

Love Mapei :drool5: but used mostly weber low dust spf this year, good price for bulk buys.

 

[poynton phil]

Mapei bagged adhesive, for everything.

Wot about Gypsum Based.......(you knew I would Dave)

Not really used much in 2010 Al.. maybe one for 2011's thread hey..

 

[Dan]

Well, so far it seems that BAL's old market dominance has dwindled somewhat. And Mapei certainly have the most. In 2006/7 BAL had a massive 42% of the votes (by the way, Mapei sponsored us back then too, we just had BAL reps on here doing their usual sales push) they now so far only have 10%, with Mapei having nearly 30%.

Please vote if you haven't already.

 

[kilty55]

mapei keraquik mostly and some weber also no tubbed at all

 

[jabba]

mostly webber for me but on problem floors its got to be mapei kerraquick, as is 50% more expensive round here

 

[badger]
