Vitrified tile is a popular choice for floors and walls because of its many advantages, such as durability, cost effectiveness, and variety. It is very similar to ceramic tiles and consists of silica and clay. These tiles have a glossy appearance by virtue of the vitrification process in their production. For successful tile installation, specially formulated tile adhesive for vitrified tiles is used. We have covered the top factors to consider when choosing the right tile adhesive for vitrified tiles:
Vitrified tiles are available in diverse sizes, thicknesses, and finishes. Glazed tiles, full-body tiles, and double-charged tiles are some of the vitrified tiles available on the market. For tile installation, Roff Vitrofix Adhesive is one of the best products suitable for tile-on-tile installation in internal areas. For external areas, this adhesive can only be used on the floor.
It is important to ensure the tile adhesive is compatible with the substrate. To ensure proper adhesion, the substrate must be clean, flat, and have a sound structure. If you want to apply tile adhesive to a wet surface, you must check whether it has a non-slip formula or not. Many tile adhesives are formulated for domestic as well as commercial applications. Choose a high-performance tile adhesive that can be used on dry as well as wet surfaces. Moreover, the surface should be cured for adhesive application.
The adhesive used for fixing vitrified tiles must have certain properties to ensure a lasting result. Bonding strength, heat resistance, water resistance, and sag-resistant features are important in tile adhesive. Tile adhesive with flexibility to accommodate minor vibration or motion is a great choice.
While applying a tile adhesive to the substrate to fix vitrified tiles, several factors such as temperature, humidity, and moisture play important roles. Whether the vitrified tiles are used on a horizontal or vertical surface also matters. Roff has a complete range of tile adhesives for different
substrates. For example, Roff Vitrofix Adhesive is a great choice for internal area applications. Furthermore, the setting time and open time of the tile adhesive are supremely important to ease application.
Storage of tile adhesive can be tricky if you do not have clarity on the same. Typically, the best tile adhesives are stored away from sunlight and properly covered to ensure they are good to use in the future. Roff has excellent products like Roff Vitrofix Adhesive, which has a phenomenal self-life of 12 months. So, if there is house remodeling work that needs to be done in the future, you can store this tile adhesive for future use.
