In the decoration process, it is very important to choose the right rock tile adhesive. It is not only related to the stable adhesion of tiles, but also directly affects the beauty and safety of the home. Different types of tiles and wall materials have different requirements for adhesives, so you need to consider carefully when purchasing.First, you need to know the type of tile. Rock tiles usually have the characteristics of high hardness, high density, and low water absorption, which requires the adhesive to have strong adhesion and good flexibility. For small tiles (such as ≤600mm×600mm), general household tile adhesives can meet the needs. However, for medium (600mm×600mm to 800mm×800mm) or large (≥800mm×800mm) rock tiles, as well as natural stones, you should choose adhesives designed for large and heavy tiles, such as JC/T547-2017 "Ceramic Tile Adhesive" C2 grade enhanced or higher to ensure super strong adhesion and stability.Secondly, the wall material is also a key factor in choosing adhesives. Walls can be divided into rigid bases and flexible bases. Rigid bases, such as cement mortar plastering, cement-based waterproof slurry, etc., are usually easier to paste tiles. Flexible bases, such as calcium silicate boards, gypsum boards, etc., need to choose flexible tile adhesives to adapt to the slight deformation of the base and prevent the tiles from hollowing and falling off.In addition, the construction environment and the use environment of the tiles need to be considered. For example, in humid environments or areas that are often exposed to water, such as kitchens and bathrooms, adhesives with waterproof properties should be selected to enhance the water resistance of tiles. At the same time, for outdoor walls or areas susceptible to temperature changes, adhesives that can adapt to thermal expansion and contraction should be selected to reduce cracks in tiles caused by temperature changes.When choosing rock tile adhesive, you should also check whether it complies with the national standard GB/T 25181-2019 "Premixed Mortar" or the industry standard JC/T547-2017 "Ceramic Tile Adhesive", which is an important guarantee of quality. At the same time, pay attention to choosing regular brands and manufacturers, and avoid using counterfeit and inferior products to ensure construction quality and home safety.In short, choosing the right rock tile adhesive according to the tile type and wall material is an important part of the decoration process. By carefully considering the tile specifications, base type, construction environment and usage requirements, the most suitable adhesive can be selected to provide solid protection for the beauty and safety of the home.
