Which adhesive

This will be my first major tiling job (see my previous post) and am confused by the adhesives on offer.

Topps offer 4 different tile adhesives all made by a company called 'BAL'. What is the difference? Which would be the best one for my job?

Cheers
Dave

the different addys are appropriate to different kinds of tile, Ceramic, porc, natruals, and sizes of tile (ie weights) and what substrate your fixing them to! ask the guys when you know waht tiles you want and they will work out which one and how much you will need!
ardex, mapei and bal are the best out there (IMO) i use the BAL because i prefer it to the others!

I recently did my bathroom and used the Bal Grip Wall Tile Adhesive. It was reccommended to me in store and I've had no complaints.
