BAL = Ardex?

[sWe]

I was doing some research on different adhesive brands, and I noticed BAL is part of the Ardex Worldwide. Are their products the same and just rebranded (like Rubi and Felker dry cutters), or are they separate?

And oh, I don't use either, I'm just curious.

BAL is a member of the Ardex group..major contribution 'VIVA BAL' :yes:

No they are not the same products. BAL operates as an independant company within the group, though I am sure there will be some cross use of technology somewhere.

How does Ardex compare to BAL, in general? I know most of the Brits around here prefer BAL, but the company I work for is considering a switch from the premier brand in Sweden, "Höganäs", to Ardex, for various reasons. I figure that if BAL is considered the premier brand in Britain, then perhaps it is similar in quality to Höganäs, and thus, a comparison between Ardex and BAL might be applicable.

I've only ever tried Ardex grouting mortar, and it wasn't under the best conditions, so I don't have a clear picture of the quality of the brand.
