Modern industry produces a wide range of special dry mixes for working with tiles. Properly selected building material -smesi/klej-dlya-plitki/ will not only allow you to quickly, but also securely fix the tile in a horizontal and vertical position. Completely eliminate the situation when a separate tile disappears during everyday use.
Does price matter?
There is a statement that says - a quality product cannot be cheap. There is some truth in this. But, the price is not always a decisive indicator of choice. It is worth focusing on several important factors. An individual selection will always give a better result, as there is a great variety of tiles used both in the home and in commercial structures:
1. Adhesion, one of the most important indicators, is measured in MPa, the higher the better.
2. The shrinkage rate is important if there is a risk of tiles moving on the wall.
3. Resistance to frost, if the tile will be in an unheated room, street.
4. The natural ability to repel water, do not accumulate it in the seams between the tiles.
5. How much glue is needed to attach individual tiles.
Important: almost all adhesive mixtures must be stored under optimal conditions. An increase in humidity leads to deterioration of the composition, which cannot be restored in the future. Many experts recommend buying glue with a minimum production time, in this case there is a high probability that it will strictly meet all the necessary technical quality criteria.
How important is elasticity
Another choice factor that few people pay attention to until they encounter the difficulties of laying tiles on specific surfaces. Elasticity serves as a kind of shock absorber that protects the tile from point, too large loads and the subsequent appearance of cracks. Increased elasticity is necessary in the following cases:
- foam concrete or aerated concrete is used as the base;
- a warm floor is installed in the room, which can lead to deformation of the masonry;
- especially large tiles, they need extra cushioning;
- a tile with a glazed surface, a rather fragile material.
A high-quality adhesive mixture spreads well over the entire surface, preventing the formation of large voids. Penetrates even the slightest irregularities on the base and surface of the tile. Thus, providing a quality hitch. During operation, individual tiles will not peel off, and fall off the walls, floor and even the ceiling.
