How to choose the best tile adhesive and make no mistake
When we were buying tiles for the bathroom of our new home, the first thing we did was call the master and ask which glue is better to take. The fact is that the result of the work depends on the tile glue. After all, if the glue is of high quality, then it fills the seams well and gives a reliable adhesion of the tile to the base.
In the store, we saw 4 types of glue and learned about each from the master. As a result, we found out that there are no radical differences. True, he did not advise taking something that was not special, but what would turn up. After all, the glue can be frost-resistant, waterproof, for a warm floor, for artistic ceramics.
Glue Ceresit has many varieties, but its price is also very high. Looking at the composition, we could not see any special differences, these differences were designated "additives".
Clay Eunice 2000 is a well-known brand, but recently, as we were told, its quality suffers, although the price does not decrease. It was not advised to take it. And it is clear that a considerable percentage of the price was spent on packaging, why should we pay for garbage?
Terracotta glue is intended for stoves and fireplaces. It is heat-resistant, we didn't need one.
We chose an average price glue Bergauf. It is specially designed for tiles, and there is a special reinforced version for large tiles, which we purchased. His master praised him, said that it would be a good option without overpayment.
There is a different look, for the kitchen and bathroom, but we decided to take Bergauf reinforced glue under the Ceramic Pro brand. It is suitable for floors and walls, has increased resistance to slipping tiles, moisture resistance. That is, it suited us in all respects.
Our wall area is 25 square meters, the floor area is 5 square meters. So far we have bought 8 bags, but, most likely, we will have to buy more.
The finishing of the bathroom will begin soon and we will finally begin to fully enjoy all the benefits of a private home.
