How thick are the tiles.....

I'm happy using either, even quite like Weber pro joint though I know alot don't but would probably err towards TileMaster. Customer service and backup is second to none.

Tilemaster if it's stocked, buy British not that bloody frenchy stuff

might be worth giving this a try? Thick Bed FlexiRapid Adhesive | Tilemaster Adhesives - http://www.tilemasteradhesives.co.uk/adhesives/thick-bed-flexi-rapid-flexible-tile-adhesive

its pretty new so not many have used it, weve not had that much call for it tbh, we dont sell that big a tile.

see if your local place @area tiling can get some in for you?

I've always used Weber but both good products

why would a thick bed adhesive be needed on a 1200 x 600 tile Lee? Or was it an opportunity for a bit of new product placement
as has been said both would be fine.

tbh, ive not room for any more products! got enough pallets in the warehouse.

Just think a thickbed would be a good idea with that size tile.

personal onion thats all

Sounds interesting that thick bed, pourable and can be used for levelling but at the same time it can be troweled up to 25mm. Anyone used it? Is it gloopy ?

That would be a special order Lee from my supplier , and with special order comes extra prices ! Would rapid flex not be an option ?

For floor tiling I love the Tilemaster Trade Flexi Rapid (Trade Flexi Rapid | Flexible, Rapid Setting Floor & Wall Tile Adhesive - http://www.tilemasteradhesives.co.uk/adhesives/trade-flexi-rapid-flexible-tile-adhesive). It mixes to a very smooth consistency, has a reasonable pot life, and is fantastic value. Local tile shop reckons that a lot of tilers are now opting for the Tilemaster Setaflex semi-rapid (Setaflex Semi-Rapid Wall & Tile Adhesive | Tilemaster Adhesives - http://www.tilemasteradhesives.co.uk/adhesives/setaflex-semi-rapid-tile-adhesive). They like the benefits of Setaflex with a 2 hour pot life, and grout after 6 hours, it is excellent for some of the smaller fiddly floors.

Of course other makes are available, but if its a choice between Weber and Tilemaster, its no competition for me - and Tilemaster wont cost more after Brexit!

The semi rapid is excellent. My local supplier has stopped stocking the trade flexi, Setaflex practically the same price and higher spec. Yet to use a TileMaster product I don't like.

 

[Lee@emctiles]

being honest, trade flexi rapid was the first product we stocked from TM. But it wasnt a S1 and so tilers started wanting a direct comparison for weber rapid SPF, so we ditched the trade flexi and got setaflex instead.

and the rest as they say.........
