Traditional Cement-Based Tiling  

In addition, cracks in tiles can also serve as access points for ants and insects, creating pest colonies and damaging the house's structure. Not just that, the traditional cement-setting method is often more labor-intensive, and time-consuming, and is considered to be the more ineffective option. 

Modern Adhesive-Based Tiling

The more modern tiling method involves fixing with a paste made from tile adhesives and water, and it can be done without having to soak the tiles first. Additionally, Tile Adhesives are cement-based polymer-modified adhesives that help keep the tiles intact for long.

●      Simply mix the tile adhesive with water to begin the tile installation process. No need to pre-soak the tiles in water for days and the tiles are set faster using this method as well. 

●      Unlike cement, tile adhesives do not shrink after they dry. Therefore, the bonding between the tile and the floor is strong, without any chances of weak spots or collapsing even after regular and strenuous usage. 

●      The tile adhesive is a fine paste that can be layered to form a consistent and firm base on the tile, leading to more even surfaces, with no cracks or chipping. 

●      When fixing with tile adhesives, you can also be sure that the strong bond between the tiles and floor will not allow for cracks that can lead to water infiltration. 

●      When fixing tiles with tile adhesive, you are less likely to damage them with heavy furniture or high foot traffic.
