Tile Adhesive FAQs
More advice →Which adhesive do I need?
It depends on tile material, tile size, surface and whether the area is wet or dry. Contact us for project-specific advice.
Do large tiles need special adhesive?
Large-format porcelain often benefits from suitable flexible adhesive and careful full-bed coverage.
Can I tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, but the existing tiles must be sound, clean and suitable for tiling over. The right primer and adhesive matter.
How much tile adhesive should I buy?
Coverage depends on tile size, trowel notch, floor flatness and substrate. Bring measurements and tile details for a better estimate.
Is flexible adhesive worth using?
Flexible adhesive is often recommended for porcelain, floors, underfloor heating and areas where slight movement is expected.
