Which is the best tile adhesive
Hello,
I'll be tiling my bathroom (approx 15m2), can you tell me which is the best tile adhesive/grout. I have seen numerous waterproof ones from B&Q, wickes, pilkingtons etc. and now I'm just confused Thanks again |

Bal works very well in shower enclosures,they also have additives for the
grout which gives a very good waterproof finish, |

Same for grout. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I'll be tiling my bathroom (approx 15m2), can you tell me which is the
best tile adhesive/grout. For readymix, I've used various BAL products. For powder types, I've used Ardex Arduflex. Both have been excellent. I always check that the product claims suitability for commercial swimming pools and ensure that I use a 100% fill technique, taking off the occassional tile to ensure there were no air gaps.

Very good, good grab, sticky. 2nd tub is Unibond waterproof (special offer at Focus). Pretty crap and a bit watery in comparison. -- steve |

Have used Bal, Cera (From B&Q) and Wickes waterproof. Bal was the best (but is more pricey), Cera was fine, but beware this on glazed tiles and a sealed surface, i've seen it stay wet for a long time (like days !) Wickes waterproof can be quite slumpy with heavy tiles, but is fine with a batten. Cheers Paul. |
