How to choose tile adhesive for the bathroom

High–quality and properly selected tile adhesive is half the success in decorating the surface with tiles, especially rooms with high humidity, like a bathroom. In turn, the choice of tile adhesive is an important step in the selection of repair and construction materials. Therefore, in this article we will give a couple of simple but practical tips on choosing an adhesive composition for tiles.

What parameters should tile adhesive have for the bathroomFirst of all, it must be moisture-resistant, and as for other parameters, they usually depend on the decorative material you choose.

Using examples of two types of tiles, we will tell you how it works.

Laying of small ceramic tilesLaying ceramic tiles of small sizes, for example, 20 * 30 cm does not require the use of an adhesive composition with increased strength characteristics or elasticity.

For this type of decorative material, the use of a moisture-resistant adhesive of category C1 will be quite enough. It will qualitatively glue the facing material to the base and will cost quite cheap. 

We advise you to pay attention to the universal adhesive composition for Teknofay C1T ceramic tiles. The adhesive has high adhesion and is acceptable for use in rooms with high humidity.

Laying of heavy natural stoneAs for the larger types of decorative material, for example, granite, marble or any other natural stone, in this case it is necessary to choose an exceptionally elastic and higher quality adhesive - category C2.

Thus, the heavy decorative material will last for decades on your surface without peeling or sliding. But, of course, all repairs must be done correctly.
