Hi,
I'll be getting my bathroom tiled shortly (ceramic).
I want a waterproof tile adhesive (not water resistant). ToppsTiles seem to be in league with BAL, and B&Q seem to like Unibond.
I rang the BAL technical helpline and asked for their offerings of waterproof adhesive. The only one he said they did was an epoxy based adhesive - and it was expensive.
I pointed out that Unibond offer waterproof cement based adhesives, and he replied that he didn't see how they could be waterproof - becuase they were water based / ready mixed.
'UniBond Tile On Walls Advanced All Purpose Adhesive & Grout 890753 White 9.2L/Up to 8.2m²' B&Q EAN: 5010383018566
So I rang the Unibond tech help line, and they said their water based tile adhesives were waterproof and not simply water resistant, because of some additive.
Now, either Unibond have the jump on BAL, or Unibond have changed their definition of waterproof.
My question is: Is the Unibond tile adhesive above really waterproof (anyone have experience), or are Unibond playing tricks with the small print?
The adhesive will be deployed in a wedi wet area.
Thanks.
