Tile Market - Adhesives
Your sales advisor in Tile Market will be able to advise you on the best adhesive at time of purchase.
Hints:
- Spread the wall adhesive on using a trowel or spreader, Working in small areas is an advantage so that tiles are fixedbefore the adhesive starts to dry and form a skin. Start at the bottom and work up, pressing and twisting the wall tiles in to the adhesive. Complete one row of whole tiles at a time, using spacers if required to ensure a uniform joint. Make sure you check the horizontal and vertical lines with the spirit level every few rows.
- Remove any surplus adhesive from the tile surfaces using a damp sponge and also from the joints. When the adhesive has set, remove the batten and complete the tiling.
- If you need to cut any tiles, please ask for advice at time of purchase in any of our Tile Market stores and we will be pleased to advise you on any tools required.
- If you are working on an awkward area, it can be better to apply the adhesive to the back of the tile instead of the wall. If the shape is complicated, it is better to draw the shape out first on to cardboard to make sure it fits and then transfer the design to the tile.
- A tile trim can be used in order to achieve a neat edge on external edges and corners. A plastic sealing strip or silicone sealant should be used around baths and hand basins in order to prevent seepage of water.
