how does that stuff compare to bal single part fast flex..??
Hey Andy..... for starters its about £25 cheaper plus you get 20kgs and not 12.5.
Its more rapid setting and, not that you would do it that often, if at all, but it will bed up to 25mm and is groutable after 3hours instead of 5hours so tile in the morning, grout in the afternoon. If your using a varying thickness tile/slab then its perfect. Also, if you have a fairly uneven floor and want to get in and out and you can't wait for a FLC to dry out then this is great too, although if your going to be bedding up 25mm you're probably better of levelling it to keep the cost down. But that can be a toss up of time between labour and hours lost in levelling etc. without getting tiles down!
Its also BAL approved for sticking cement boards down, although there maybe others too but at this price I haven't checked out any other BAL products in that regard!
The funny thing is that its pourable yet when tiling an external disabled access ramp for instance, it doesn't slide!!
Its also sound for wet rooms where the floors get saturated, or complete submersion such as swimming pools.
I did a wet room using 600sq tiles and it was sound, quick and easy to use and even though the overall floor sloped, it was about 11/12mm out from one side to the other, I just back buttered to bring up the level and it coped well. And just so you know, the shower head was from Porcelonosa and was 2foot square, had 3 water feeds to it and weighing around 20kgs it took 2 of us to get it held up and fitted to the frame in the ceiling, so it kicked out some water lol!!
I guess for me it takes a lot for me to change to a different product when I'm used to something but now I have tried it, I now keep using it, in the right environment!
