What is a tile adhesive?
A tile adhesive is a glue used to bond tiles onto a surface or substrate.
The surface, substrate, tile and location you are tiling each have varied features.
Due to these varied characteristics, there can be many different adhesive requirements hence why there are so many different types.
There are many things that impact what type of adhesive or tiling system is best for your project. There are three key questions to ask yourself.
Each surface or substrate has a different capacity here are a few of the common types: Concrete, existing tiles, fibre cement, plasterboard, render, waterproofing membrane, screed, heated concrete.
Is your tile ceramic, porcelain, marble, natural stone or glass? Does it have a high or low porosity? Are they small tiles (light) or large tiles (heavier)
Are you tiling an internal or external wall/floor?
