Tile Adhesive Poll 2007 - Best Tile Adhesive For Floors And Walls?

[Bolter]

Need more than one option

For floors we use weber or on occasion BAL or Dunlop.

For walls we use Palace mainly although they are increasingly sending us bad batches and so we often have to order in another brand.

Used Granfix for a few months but found it to be quite slippy and their white grout I didnt like.

Only problems I've encountered are the rapid set spf going off a bit too rapid for my slow noobie hands.

Exactly why we use weber can get back on it to grout very quickly!

Thanks, I will look into that. Palace on the whole make a very good, pretty cheap product, but its always good to have a back up plan

Try mapei Bolter, Thats good stuff. Do like the palace cement addy really creamy, Don't use the bicem powdered adhesive, last time there was me pulling a lump out the bag as big as my hand

dan i am just starting in the game.My neighbour has just had her bathroom done and i noticed that the tiler was using dunlop non slip!
is this cheap rubbish and will her tiles stay on?

alot of people are slagging dunlop of its decent stuff and quite cheap and its made by bal so it cant be that bad

Nobody uses dunlop so far then.

Is dunlop really BAL in a diffrent tub, if not what is missing from dunlop.

I use green star, white star and Granfix for floors,

Dont like Webber adhesives though.

Make mine a cold one.
