Which? is a United Kingdom brand name that promotes informed consumer choice in the purchase of goods and services by testing products, highlighting inferior products or services, raising awareness of consumer rights and offering independent advice. The brand name is used by the Consumers' Association, a registered charity and company limited by guarantee that owns several businesses, including Which? Financial Services Limited (Which? Mortgage Advisers), Which? Legal Limited and Which? Limited, which publishes the Which? Papers.
The vast majority of the association's income comes from the profit it makes on its trading businesses, for instance subscriptions to Which? magazine, which are donated to the campaigning part of the organisation to fund advocacy activity and inform the public about consumer issues. Which? magazine maintains its independence by not accepting advertising, and the organisation receives no government funding. The Consumers' Association is the largest consumer organisation in the UK, with over 573,000 subscribers to its magazine.Until 2006, the association used prize draws similar to those of Reader's Digest to attract subscribers, but following criticism they were discontinued. The Association now attracts subscribers to its publications with free mini-guides and trial offers.
I have a few tiling jobs will be doing over next few months, just DIY but going to get a grinder and good blades.
I have other Bosch tools so was going to stick with them as I like the brand but also as I have the batteries and saw the cordless grinder.
The batteries I have are only 2ah one but...
Looking for recommendations for a job I looked at yesterday, it’l be a high spec kitchen which will be having a tiled floor on the concrete slab. Now although I have installed plenty of electric ufh in kitchens and bathrooms none of them have been this size.
It’s all one floor area but would...

Hi just starting out in the world of tiling just finished a two weekend course and looking to start doing a few little jobs for myself. Just looking for recommendations for a manual tile cutter.
Happy to spend a couple hundred £ or less want something that is a good starter cutter but one that...
This coming weekend I’ll be installing Hardie Backer 500 boards for my en suite shower re-fit.
I’m just after some recommendations for adhesives to use, specifically:
1. Which adhesives are good for applying over the jointing tape for the joints between boards and corners?
2. Which adhesives...
Hi. I have about 55 sqm floor, anhydrite screed laid about 5 years ago with water UFH. Because my house is old, build 1902 on side of the hill and on the clay, I have few crack on floor. One of the first shop where I was looking for tiles, wood effect which I want, was Topptiles. Because crack...
Anybody used rubi nd180 smart ?
Just bought the wet cutter from tile giant but i hate it!
It was only about £80 as it was a show cutter.
Water gets absolutely everywhere unlike any other cutters I’ve used previously and also doesn’t leave such a good edge.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
Can anyone recommend which grades to start off with SiC discs on a grinder to tidy up a cut edge on porcelain tiles? Just to smooth the glazed edge when seen from the front.
Thanks
If I can find the time I have 110m(2) of 60x60 porcelain floor tiles to lay. This would be the largest are I have done. I have never used tile leveling spacers but thought I might try them out. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of my namesakes system but I know there are lots of alternatives out...
So I have stripped this kitchen wall back and the skim coat has come off most of the wall with the tiles. Underneath is a bonding /base coat plaster. That is sound and level. But for the lack of a skim coat the wall is in great condition. I know that you can't tile on bonding and I would normal...
Hello good people
So, what's your thoughts...
In the shower section, do you grout first and then silicone details such as corners andand where the tray meets the wall tiles?
Or is it visa versa?
What's the best method and importantly, why.
Thank you very much
hello all
What grit polishing pads do you use to finish cut edges on ceramic glazed tiles. I thinking In particular about metro tile mitred edges or normal straight cuts where the glaze chips slightly. What is best hand pad or grinder pad to polish away any imperfections.
Many thanks
Hi
Just planning ahead...
Unbeknown at the time, we've bought some what may be poor quality tiles. BCT!
I've not even started tiling yet, but before I do...if they're gonna be naff, which type of cutter should I buy. An electric circular saw type, or a score and snap type.
Thanks

Hi, I want to tile onto WEDI type backing board with mosaic tiles 30x27. The location is the bathroom but not around the bath area. What adhesive do you recommend? Bal Green Star, Blue Star or White Star?
I'm planning on installing coloured Bevel Metro tiles to kitchen splash back size 200/100 with a thickness of 7 mm.
The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 2 mm for grout line, I'm not a fan of large grout lines and am hoping to either use 1 mm or 1 1/2 mm spacers.
Has anybody had negative...

Please could you advise which is the best thin screed to go with for UFH?
I know it will be a liquid of some sorts and I presume 40mm is minimum I can get away with? I will be tiling on top. Im trying to maximise the amount of insulation I can get underneath a Block and Beam floor with...
So I've narrowed it down to:
Raychem T2, prowarm or Devi mats. All come with a Wi-Fi thermostat
Devi and raychem seem slightly cheaper but I'm more interested with the quality. EBay seems to be the place to buy these mats, significantly cheaper than online retailers.
The areas I'm looking at...
What are the issues with having a wet tile? If water is getting into the tile (Ceramics, ignoring faults) then it must go through the grout and I assume into the adhesive (is this right?).
So is the concern the bond between the adhesive and the wall? (in Plan Tec's post some tilers mention the...
