Applying Tile Glue
- Tiles should be fixed in accordance with the Australian Standards AS3958.1-2007.
- Ensure the back of each tile is clean free form dust and other contaminants. Apply the adhesive onto the substrate but do not exceed more than 1m2 at a time.
- When back buttering is required use the straight side of the trowel and apply a thin coating of adhesive onto the tile.
- When laying the tiles make sure you move the tile forward and back 90 degrees across the direction of the beads of adhesive
- leaving no voids under the tile. It is important to lift a tile every now and then to check that sufficient coverage is achieved 90-100%.
- All adhesive residue must be removed from the tile and joint while the adhesive is still wet.
- After the tile adhesive is completely cured grouting can begin using Tradies choice range of grouts.
