What it is

Tile adhesive is mixed with water and spread with a notched trowel. It grips better than plain mortar and suits large tiles, stone and tiling over existing tiles.

Types and key points

  • Thin bed: less weight, less mess
  • Strong grip for large tiles
  • Types for floors, walls, stone and outdoors
  • Needs a flat base

Why it matters

Large vitrified tiles laid on lumps of mortar often sound hollow and crack. Adhesive gives full contact.

How Elamentt handles it

Large tiles are fixed with tile adhesive as written in your specification.
