Choosing the right tile adhesive can be the difference between a flawless, long-lasting installation and a costly failure. Adhesive selection is one of the most overlooked steps and is, however, one of the most crucial for durability and performance. Ultratech Building Solutions has developed the Tilefixo range with a modular approach for different tile types, surfaces and environmental conditions -giving each job the right products on hand.
What Makes a Good Tile Adhesive?
When you look at regular cement mixes, new glues give better strength, bendability, and resistance to wetness and warmth. Main traits are:
- Adhesion strength: Big stick keeps tiles from being empty or coming off the base.
- Flexibility: Soft glues (S1 and S2 kinds) bend with pressure and help stop breakage.
- Water and heat resistance: Key ͏for use in bath rooms, kitchens or outside.
- Ease of use: New glues have a soft feel, longer waiting times, and set quicker, which makes the putting up faster.
- Compliance with IS/EN standards: this makes sure of safety, quality and long life.

How to Choose the Right Adhesive
Selecting the appropriate adhesive is essential to help keep every tile durable, strong, secure, and visually distinguishable. Projects will, by their nature, require different adhesives depending on the tile material, surface, and conditions. In terms of tile material, a standard solution may be a suitable adhesive for ceramic tiles.
However, vitrified, porcelain and natural stone tiles will often require more advanced formulations ensure complete bonding for example, walls tend to use slip resistant adhesives and heavy traffic floors, and outdoor requirements of water resistant adhesive and heat resistant adhesive products.

- Troweling: Always select the correct notched trowel according to the size of the tile.
