Does tile adhesive have waterproof effect?
Ceramic tile adhesive does not have a waterproof effect, and therefore cannot be used as a waterproof product. However, ceramic tile adhesive has the characteristics of non-shrinkage and non-cracking, and can be used in tile finishing systems to enhance overall impermeability.
Do I need to soak the tiles before using tile adhesive?
In the past, traditional cement mortar was used for tiling, and tiles needed to be soaked in water in advance. The purpose of soaking tiles is to prevent them from absorbing moisture from the cement mortar, thus avoiding tile hollowing and detachment. However, in today's decoration market, tiles with high density and low water absorption rate are popular, and cement mortar can no longer meet the requirements for tiling. When using tile adhesive for tiling, tiles do not need to be soaked. This is because tile adhesive itself has good water retention and does not lose water.
Can tile adhesive be used for joint filling?
Both tile adhesive and joint filler belong to building materials accessories, but they have essential differences. Tile adhesive requires strong bonding strength, while joint filler demands flexibility, waterproofing, and strong alkali resistance. If tile adhesive is used for joint filling, once the floor tiles are heated and undergo thermal expansion and contraction, it is easy for the tiles to arch, causing hollowing and detachment. Therefore, tile adhesive cannot be used as a joint filler, and specialized joint filler or seam filler should be used for joint filling
