Advantages of Tile Adhesive over sand Cement Mix | Cement vs Tile Adhesive | Tile Adhesive Sand cement composes of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and sand. OPC is used for rendering and masonry while sand is normally river sand, which is hard to control grain size, cleanliness, and quality. Inconvenience to work with. OPC comes in the form of small bags and sand must be bought in huge quantities, which extensively occupy storage areas. OPC and sand must be relocated to another area for mixing and the process is dirty and dusty. Tiles need to be soaked in water for at least one day before being laid with sand-cement, and this is time-consuming. Time Consuming and inefficiency To lay tiles with sand-cement traditional way is to apply the mixture of sand-cement in a lump on the tiles' back so it has to be done with one tile at a time. Aesthetic and DE bonding Problem Without an additive to help retaining water, a mixture of sand cement dries fast and then causes difficulty to adjust the tiles after being laid. This leads to an aesthetic problem of the line of tiles and also poor bonding strength, which will be the reason for de-bonded tiles later. Laying tiles the traditional way by applying sand-cement mixture in a lump at tiles' back will create voids underneath the tiles and water can seep through. This creates a white stain problem. Moreover, the tile will be fragile in the area without any adhesive underneath. #benefitsofadhesive #tilegrout #tiling #tilegrouting #epoxygrout Floorgrout #tileadhesive #advantagesofadhesive #tilefixing
