What glue to choose for porcelain stoneware
Wall and floor cladding using porcelain stoneware allows you to achieve a strong and durable coating that will last much longer than ceramic tiles. The peculiarity of this material is high impact strength and resistance to sudden temperature changes, which is why porcelain stoneware is widely used for interior, exterior work, as well as floor and wall cladding in saunas, baths and other rooms where significant temperature differences are possible.
Despite these advantages of porcelain stoneware, it is possible to obtain high-quality cladding from this material only if the masonry technology is observed. And not the least role in the technology is played by the adhesive composition. Contrary to popular belief, granite is not laid with cement mortar and other outdated materials. Professional tile makers use specialized mixtures, such as Teknofay EX C2TE glue. We will talk about this adhesive solution today.
Teknofay EX C2TE: brief descriptionThis modern adhesive is supplied in bags of 25 kg in the form of a dry mixture, which is subsequently mixed with water.
The solution has high adhesion (more than 1.20 MPa), as well as resistance to vertical sliding of < 0.5 mm, which allows the use of Teknofay EX C2TE for laying porcelain stoneware on vertical surfaces.
In addition to porcelain stoneware, Teknofay EX C2TE glue is suitable for facing work with ceramics, granite, porcelain and marble of gray color. The elastic solution is convenient to use, as well as waterproof.
What are the advantages of Teknofay EX C2TE porcelain stoneware glueResistance to sliding allows you to apply Teknofay EX C2TE on vertical surfaces, and make high-quality wall cladding.
- Water resistance makes the adhesive suitable for facing saunas, baths, bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity.
- Resistance to temperature shock allows the use of glue for porcelain stoneware in the arrangement of underfloor heating, thermal baths and heated pools.
- Teknofay EX C2TE is suitable for laying porcelain stoneware on concrete, aerated concrete, plaster and drywall.
- The thermally resistant Teknofay EX C2TE mixture is used in the arrangement of walls and floors in industrial freezers.
When laying porcelain stoneware, in addition to high-quality glue, it is worth paying special attention to compliance with the cladding technology, namely, to carry out work in the range from 5 to 35 ° C. Otherwise, the fresh lining is covered with thermal insulation material for normal drying of the glue.
