Do you use s2 on top of durabase? I'm sure that defeats the object of the membrane as it's too deformable

Good to know Tilemaster as come up with a product the sticks to substrates where other can't and fixes tiles where only none water based adhesive are recommend by the tile manufacturers.

So how do we stand if we fixed say Gulf Stone with Tilemaster S2 ultimate and there is a failure ?

Like any other get in touch with Tilemaster & their Technical department, Like I say Ask them, They Spec S2 ultimate for tiling Quartz, composite, Bitumen, Steel/metal, Green screed. Everything, and yes I use S2 on top of Dural Matting. If in any doubt I always ask before a project
Again Great Service from a Family run business, I have had no issues.

Thanks for that.... but that's your opinion, check the spec's & ask the technical guys...
surely they can't be wrong!

You maybe right, but how will you get on if the tile fails because you have not followed the tile manufacturers recommendations?
Will Tilemaster stand by you?

Part of the problems with Quartz, resin stone... is that they are poor in quality, I have had suppliers say no to underfloor heating, seen Dodgy Quartz tiles vary from box to box of 6-7mm thick... to 10-12mm
Again you get what you pay for!

No offence but I'd go with the technical direction of Dural when fixing durabase and the technical direction of a tile manufacturer when fixing their tiles. S2 isn't the miracle answer to everything.

With Quartz I always ask where they have come from, They need good quality, you can use two -part Flexi Hardi backer, Liquid Grout..etc..but if they are cheap imitations, like I am sure you have seen Then There is still a Risk, Tiles curling at edges etc... Will the internet shop stand by thier tiles??/ No, They will always look for blame in fixing, I only do each job as if it were my own, I do not want comebacks,
I would recommend trying Tilemasters... or at least, get in touch, see for yourself...

Would quite agree But S2 is up there with the best
