Tile & Stone Adhesives

Tile adhesive acts as a bonding agent between the tile and the substrate, ensuring that the tiles stay in place and do not shift or crack over time. It eliminates the need for traditional methods.

The effectiveness of tile on tile adhesive

All adhesive comes with ready-to-use packaging you just have to mix water or other additives given in the pack. All the guidelines or coverage chart is given with the tile adhesive. Tile on tile glue is used with a notched trowel which makes sure the material is getting used less and evenly distributed throughout. The adhesive will reduce many problems like broken tiles on the corner, water seeping, and stains. Tile on tile Adhesive is used in the thinner layer thus reducing the load on the structure as compared to the cement-sand mixture where you have to apply the paste on surfaces as well as another dollop on the back of the tile and stone it increasing the weight. This method of application with adhesive saves a lot of waste of material and saves time.

By and large, it’s always good to use the best tiles on tile glue as per the areas and surfaces for better bonding strength. As we all know tile cement mortar mix dries really quickly so many times masons have to add more amount of water to the paste which can often weaken the bonding strength.

Economical benefits of tile adhesive

These adhesives come with a coverage chart that can define how much material you will need for particular areas. The thinner layer & use of a notched trowel reduce material usage. The tile adhesive has longer bonding time and strength and fewer chances of damage to tile and stone thus saving a lot of cost in future spending and Maintenance. Tile cement when incorporated with such adhesive delivers exceptional results.

Tile Adhesive Vs Cement Mortar

Sand / Cement (Traditional) Ardex Endura Adhesives
Weak bond and longer installation time Stronger bond and faster installation time
Tiles need soaking Tiles can be fixed dry, no soaking required
Thick bed of 15 - 40 mm Thin bed of approx. 2 - 6 mm
Rigid and shrinks
  • Cracks due to physical, thermal & moisture movement
Flexible, anti-shrink properties
  • Can accommodate physical, thermal &moisture movement
Limited use
  • Weak or on bon to some materials and backgrounds
Universal use
  • Range of adhesive strongly bond to all materials (tiles, stone) and backgrounds
Water curing required No water curing required
Poor workability/ application
  • Thin/ runny
  • No grab , highslip
  • Poor water retention
  • Less working time
  • Hard to use and apply
  • Variable materials
  • Poor mixing control
Good working / application
  • Thick/ sticky
  • Good 'grab', non-slip
  • Good water retention
  • Longer working time
  • Easy to use and apply Consistent, quality product
  • Easy to mix
Hollowness behind tiles/ stone 100% bonding between tiles / stone & background surface
Non water - resistant Water - resistant

FAQs

The best tile adhesive depends on the application. For ceramic or porcelain tiles, a standard polymer-modified adhesive works well. For stones, like marble or granite, use a high-flexibility adhesive to account for movement and weight.

Cement is a basic bonding material, while tile adhesive is specially formulated with polymers for improved flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance, making it ideal for securing tiles and stones on walls and floors.

It’s generally not recommended to mix tile adhesive with cement, as it may compromise the adhesive’s performance. Tile adhesives are designed to be used as-is for optimal strength and bonding.

Yes, you can use tile adhesive for stone, but choose one that’s formulated for stone installation. Adhesives with strong bonding and flexibility properties are best for heavy and natural stones.

Many adhesive tiles are water-resistant, especially if designed for bathrooms and kitchens, but they may not be fully waterproof. Always check product specifications for moisture resistance levels.
