Factors to consider when choosing tile adhesive

When choosing tile adhesive, there are several factors to consider:

Tile Type: Different tile types have different adhesive requirements, so it's important to choose an adhesive that's appropriate for the type of tile you'll be using.

Substrate: The substrate, or the surface that the tiles will be adhered to, is also an important factor to consider. Different substrates may require different types of adhesive to ensure proper adhesion and prevent cracking or movement.

Location: The location of the tiles can also affect the choice of adhesive. For example, tiles in a wet area, such as a shower or bathroom, require a different adhesive than tiles in a dry area, such as a kitchen or living room.

Climate: The climate of the area where the tiles will be installed can also impact the choice of adhesive. For example, a humid climate may require an adhesive that can withstand moisture and prevent mold and mildew growth.

Application Method: The method of application can also influence the choice of adhesive. Some adhesives are better suited for large format tiles, while others are better for smaller tiles.

Drying Time: The drying time of the adhesive can also be a factor to consider, especially if the installation needs to be completed quickly.
