FAQs

Can I use this on floor tiles?

This product is specifically designed for wall tiles. It is not intended for the heavy-duty requirements of floor tiling.

Do I need to prime new plaster?

Yes, new plaster is porous and must be primed with a PVA adhesive primer to ensure a proper bond.

How long do I wait before grouting?

You must allow the adhesive to dry for at least 24 hours before attempting to grout the tiles.

Is it suitable for a shower area?

Yes, it is formulated to be moisture resistant, making it suitable for bathrooms and shower areas.

Can I apply it over wood?

Yes, but you must ensure the timber is primed with an oil-based primer before starting.

What is the maximum thickness for the adhesive?

The adhesive should be applied to a maximum thickness of 3mm.

Troubleshooting

Grout is cracking between tiles

This is often caused by the substrate moving or the grout being applied too thinly. Ensure the substrate is stable and primed correctly before application.

Adhesive is not holding the tiles

Check that the surface was primed correctly. Unprimed porous surfaces absorb moisture from the adhesive too quickly, preventing a proper bond.

Material drying too fast

Work in smaller sections. High room temperatures can accelerate drying time, so ensure you only mix what you can use within the working window.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combined adhesive and grout functionality saves time and simplifies project materials
  • Suitable for use on surfaces prone to slight movement like wood
  • Dries to an aesthetically pleasing bright white finish
  • Highly resistant to moisture when fully cured

Cons

  • Strict 3mm maximum application thickness for adhesive layer
  • Requires professional-level preparation of surfaces including priming
  • Long 24-hour waiting period between adhesive setting and grouting
  • Requires protection from water until the curing process is entirely finished

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure compatibility, verify that your substrates are structurally sound and clear of dust, grease, or loose particles. For porous surfaces or new plaster, always apply a PVA primer; for wood, an oil-based primer is required to prevent moisture transfer.

  • Mixing: Add the powder to clean water as per the instructions on the packaging until a consistent paste is formed.
  • Application: Use appropriate tiling tools to spread the adhesive. Ensure tiles are pressed firmly into place.
  • Curing: Allow the tile adhesive to set for 24 hours before beginning the grouting process.
  • Care: Avoid exposing the finished work to water or humidity until the product has reached its final set. Keep tools clean by washing them immediately after use while the material is still wet.
