A Guide to Using Tile Adhesives for Vitrified Tiles

Vitrified tiles are a top choice for floors and walls due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic variety. Made from silica and clay, these tiles achieve their glossy appearance through a vitrification process. To ensure proper installation, using specially formulated tile adhesive is essential.

Types of Vitrified Tiles

Vitrified tiles come in various sizes, thicknesses, and finishes, such as glazed, full-body, and double-charged tiles. For internal areas, ANTIQUE GOLDEN TILE Adhesive is a great choice for tile-on-tile applications. In external areas, this adhesive works effectively for floor installations.

Substrate Compatibility

The compatibility of the adhesive with the substrate is crucial. Ensure the substrate is clean, flat, and structurally sound. For wet surfaces, opt for adhesives with a non-slip formula. High-performance adhesives are versatile, suitable for both wet and dry surfaces. Additionally, the substrate should be properly cured before applying adhesive.

Essential Adhesive Properties

A good adhesive should have strong bonding capability to ensure tiles stay in place. Heat and water resistance are vital for durability in different environments. Sag-resistant adhesives prevent slipping during installation, while flexibility allows the adhesive to accommodate minor movements or vibrations.

Application Factors

When applying adhesive, consider factors such as temperature, humidity, and moisture levels. Choose adhesives designed for horizontal or vertical surfaces, depending on your installation needs. For internal areas, ANTIQUE SILVER TILE ADHESIVE is a reliable option. Pay attention to the setting time and open time to ensure a smooth application process.

Storage Guidelines

Proper storage maintains the quality of tile adhesive for future use. Store adhesives in a cool, covered space away from sunlight. ANTIQUE SILVER TILE Adhesive has a shelf life of 12 months, making it an excellent choice for long-term projects or remodeling work.
