Tile adhesives, traditionally known as
cement adhesives, are used to bond
tiles to a substrate. They have evol-
ved with the development of new lar-
ger tiles with a lower water absorp-
tion rate, as is the case of porcelain
tiles.
As a result, dierent bonding mate-
rials are available to suit dierent
types of tiles and, in turn, the inten-
ded use of the tiled surfaces: on walls
or oors, indoors, outdoors etc.
To use the right adhesive in each
case, check the indications given by
the adhesive manufacturer (as per
the UNE EN 12004 standard),
