Hi lads, just get straight to the point... i normally just use f75 or f76 which ever suits rh readings, but just wondering does anyone recommend anything other at the same price or round about.. oh and about 95 - 97 rh. cheers owen
Mapei 1k turbo works out the cheapest by far. 1- you put it on thinner than epoxy 2- you can put the lid back on and use the same tub for months on end so no waste. 3- can do 2 coats in 30 mins so get the floor fully dpm'ed + skimmed in one day rather than over 3 days.
Problem is tho matt, my supplier doesnt stock mapei products, and no1 at the shop has even heard of 1k turbo :S, cant even find any1 who sells it?, anybody know of anywere round the liverpool/merseyside area who does actually sell it?
Your best bet if you ever want to find sales points is to phone or email the manufacturer. They'll be more than happy to help you.
I here this every day! Soon you will be able to buy these products through the forum and have them delivered to your front door. Im going to Mapei tomorrow, do you want me to see if i can get a tub posted out for you mate?
if you could do that matt that would be fantastic mate i really appreciate it, as for mapei products being available to the forum, when exactly would that be setup? after christmas i would imagine?
In reality yes. My Mrs is due our first child in November and will be out of a job for the next couple of years. I have plenty of storage at our place but no one that will be in every day to see delivery's leave. As she will be home everyday i hope she will be in to sort out the delivers that need to go out. Up untill the day i have someone here that can do that i cant really do it. I imagine the orders will be very small also so wont be able to afford full time staff. Im more doing this to help people out on the forum rather than for my own gain, but if my Mrs can earn a few extra quid a week to pay the bills while she wont be working then the better for us. (i just know she will spend any extra money on shoes tho) There is also the added bonus that i will be able to spec jobs for you and advice you on what materials will be best suited. All down to how soon i can my MRS back working :twisted: o and she finishes at work in October so could get this set up before hand really and maybe i take over in November, December? Not sure yet
ahh i see mate, if you need any help at all im happy to help although would be difficult with me being a few hours away, but if theres anything i can help you with just give me a shout. oh and congratulations on the little one mate
Congrats on the wee one mate, get used to feck all sleep. Mine is still a shite sleeper and he's 7!!!
I think the current problem with Mapei is they have concentrated on the tiling market and haven't quite started on the flooring side. Most major tile outlets will stock Mapei products relative to tiling but should be able to order in flooring products. Tile Giant and CTD do that at least.
Yes they do. But what Mapei have done is change the name of the products that B&Q have so that when pricing a job a customer cant compare prices to B&Q products. Also they have limited the products to 'DIY' products also which i think is good of them.
