Using the right kind of adhesive and grout is essential for the longevity of your tiling. There are many different types of adhesive and grout on the market and using the correct type will prevent future problems. Different types of adhesive and grout should be used for different conditions. There are many factors that influence the type of adhesive and grout that is to be used, Such as wet areas, areas that are subject to ground movement, and variable substrates such as tile on tile.
Wet areas require a tanking system which is designed to protect backgrounds, bases and underlying structures from water penetration. As such, the system incorporates a waterproof coating, polyester tape for reinforcement of corners and joints, polyester matting, where required, for floors, and a wall & floor primer.
