Tile & Stone Adhesives

What is the tile adhesive?

Wall tile adhesive is a premixed blend of exceptionally well-chosen ordinary Portland
cement, well-graded fine sand, and added substances to improve its basic properties
for laying tiles and giving it more strength and flexibility. Superior wall tile Adhesives can
be utilized to lay tiles on existing tiles, on finished concrete, on wooden substrates,
or on other unique substrates. However, each type of tile adhesive is made for a
different type of surface application to give the best output to users based on the
usage areas and atmosphere. This wall tile glue can be utilized for fixing a wide range of
tiles and stones over different substrates. These Tile Fixing Adhesives are prepared
to blend, self-restoring, and with astounding adhesion properties. Their superior
bonding strength prevents shrinkage, breaks, and slippage of tiles.​

Why is it important to use tile installation?

Common challenges encountered with traditional tile or stone installation are poor
bond strength, hollow sounds, and lack of flexibility, leading to cracking and popping
of tiles from the substrate. Tile & stone adhesives overcome these issues owing to
their polymer modification. These polymers introduce water retention and flexibility
properties into adhesives, enhancing their bond strength and flexibilities, ultimately
leading to long and durable installations. That’s why is it preferred to use stone adhesive is safest.

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.
