 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Tile Adhesives

1. What is tile adhesive?
Tile adhesive is a bonding agent used for fixing different types of tiles onto various surfaces such as walls, floors, and ceilings. Tileox offers polymer-modified cementitious tile adhesives for superior bonding and durability.

2. Why should I use tile stone adhesive instead of cement?
Tile adhesive provides stronger bonding, better flexibility, and higher durability than traditional cement. It also prevents tile slippage and minimizes hollow spaces under tiles, reducing the risk of breakage.

3. What is the coverage of 15 kg of tile adhesive?
The coverage of 15 kg of tile adhesive depends on the thickness of the application and the surface type. On average, it can cover approximately 40-50 square feet when applied at a 3mm thickness.

4. How much does 5 kg of tile grout cover?
The coverage of 5 kg of tile grout depends on the tile size and joint width. On average, it can cover 40-50 square feet for standard tile joint widths.

5. How do I calculate the required grout quantity for my tiles?
To calculate grout quantity, use the formula:
Grout (kg) = (Tile Length + Tile Width) × Joint Width × Joint Depth × Area (sq. ft.) ÷ 144
Different tile sizes and joint widths require different amounts of grout, so ensure proper calculation before application.

6. Can I mix tile adhesive with cement?
No, tile adhesive should not be mixed with cement or any other materials. It is designed with precise chemical formulations that provide maximum bonding strength. Mixing it with cement can weaken adhesion and compromise performance.

7. Is tile adhesive suitable for large-sized or heavy tiles?
Yes, Tileox tile adhesives are formulated for fixing heavy and large-sized tiles, including granite, marble, and mosaic tiles. They provide excellent strength, making them suitable for facades, multi-story buildings, and swimming pools.

Yes, Tileox tile adhesives are designed for both interior and exterior applications, including walls, floors, drywalls, existing tiled surfaces, and even overhead surfaces.

9. What type of tile adhesive should I use for swimming pools and wet areas?
For swimming pools, toilets, and wet areas, HACK AID PLAST TF is recommended, as it provides specialized bonding between tiles and RCC walls, ensuring water resistance and durability.

10. What is the drying time for tile adhesive?
Tile adhesive generally sets within 24 hours, but the full curing time may vary based on humidity, temperature, and tile type. Heavy foot traffic should be avoided during this period.

11. Can tile adhesive be used for tile-on-tile applications?
Yes, Tileox tile adhesives are specially designed for tile-on-tile installation, providing a strong bond over existing tiled surfaces without requiring removal.
