WHICH TILE ADHESIVE BRAND DO YOU USE THE MOST

Oooooo I'm excited.

The change from BAL to Mapei to Weber (close one with Mapei mind) over the years is apparent in the Polls and the forum in general so they're a good gauge.

Some good adhesives came out last couple of years too. And no poll was done in 2014 so it'll be nice to see how things have changed

Good luck to all adhesive firms especially Tile Master as they're truly British and small and are up against some massive firms. Done really well I'm hoping they do well in the poll.

Worth noting we have false voting prevention systems in place and if we clock false votes by any firm, we will name and shame them.

I switched about a year ago to tilemaster on all there products and as I deal with a small independent supplier I can get a better deal then with the large multinationals and this is saving me a packet as I use at least 2 pallets a month.🙂

Tilemaster as much as poss
Been chatting with Simon one of their sales reps and Mark recently and I now have a complete list of stockists in London.
so should be easier to source.
Oh voted too!😀
 
It's all of them , in the process of moving to bigger showroom , so it'll be kitchens,bathrooms,bedrooms on one section and then a big section for tiles...
Bit off topic but Christ, take over why don't you?
 
Switched to Tilemaster during last year, mostly Setaflex, some rapid setaflex and some Anhyfix also. I've been very impressed with all of their products so far and will continue to use them!
 
Voted Tilemaster, Setaflex standard and there Trade rapid set...do like Ultra but the prices round my way seem a tad expensive.

Arggghhh should be able to pick two, close call between Webber n tile master for me, Webber just nudged it 55-45% just because of buying from most local shop, not because of quality and cost..

If it's two you use, pick the one A) that you used most, if it's exactly the same between the two B) the one you liked the most out of the two.

Sorry mate.

I mean if you have two options, the one you used most is the one you vote for.

However if you did use two about the same during 2015, pick the one you liked the most for your vote.

So you've done right and voted for Weber I assume.
 
Tilesmaster setaflex, ultimate and grout 3000 with Ultra proflex range a close second for me.

Okay so I've added some stats to the post I made here: Which tile adhesive did you most use during 2015?

Please take a look and see the change over the years.

I'm sure you'll agree that offline, and on the forum, that's pretty much matched the industry.

Which tile adhesive did you most use during 2015?

BAL always years ago. There wasn't much choice back in the day. Then Mapei came on the scene. Then Weber got clever in the later years with investment and massive staff and product drive. Then Tilemaster came on the scene.

Ultra seem to have scored not too bad last time. But low vote count. So could have been swayed easily perhaps.

2012 had the most votes. A massive amount compared to usual.

Yep Webber used most but wanted to give tile master a shout out too..
 
We use a bal rapid flexi fibre, supposed to be able to hold up a 900x900 porcelain tile without battens" never tried it though and probably never will.! Also use mapi flexi keraquik.
