Which tile adhesive is suitable for underfloor heating

Ceramic tiles, natural stone and granite are considered the best materials for facing underfloor heating, as they differ not only in visual attractiveness, but also in sufficient strength, durability and resistance to mechanical damage. 

However, the result depends not only on the chosen material, but also on the quality of the cladding work, in which the main role is played by a well-chosen glue. Today we will consider a mixture of Teknofay Flex C2TE S1, which is optimally suited for the arrangement of underfloor heating in private homes and apartment buildings. 

What properties should tile adhesive have for underfloor heatingSince the floor heating system is a relatively difficult engineering structure, it is doubly careful to choose the glue.

Such compositions should have a number of special qualities: 

• Resistance to the so-called "temperature shock", because the sharp temperature jumps characteristic of underfloor heating should not affect the physical properties of the adhesive.
• Moisture resistance is necessary for tile adhesive used for facing rooms with high humidity. And since underfloor heating is often equipped in bathrooms, it is advisable that tile adhesive for underfloor heating be resistant to water and moisture. 
• High adhesion is necessary to ensure the strength of the coating, as well as resistance to various mechanical loads. 
• The elasticity of the tile adhesive in the arrangement of underfloor heating is necessary so that voids do not form in the masonry. 

Teknofay Flex C2TE S1 tile adhesive for underfloor heating — advantages

•  It meets all the requirements for tile adhesives for the arrangement of underfloor heating, namely, it has high thermal stability (-40 ° C - 80 ° C), elasticity of at least 2.5 mm2, adhesion of more than 1.65 MPa and resistance to moisture.
• Suitable for interior and exterior cladding, arrangement of terraces, balconies, as well as rooms with high humidity.
• It is applicable for laying ceramics, porcelain, porcelain stoneware, natural stone on the floor. It is also used for stained glass and decorative bricks. 
• Suitable for laying large materials with a size of 40x40 or more.
• It has an extended open time of 30 minutes, which makes the Teknofay Flex C2TE S1 glue convenient to use. 
• High resistance to slipping from vertical planes (≤ 0.5 mm) allows the use of glue for wall cladding inside and outside the premises.
