For the tiles installation at this stage, many people will choose tile glue. Because the firmness of tiles laid with tile adhesive is better than the cement mortar. In addition, it is difficult to stick some ceramic tiles with ordinary cement mortar. The tile installating materials are divided into many types according to the use location and the corresponding types. How can we choose? Here we answer the question of the choice of tile glue selection.

Difference Between Indoor & Outdoor Tile Adhesive - What Should We Pay Attention To?

We can distinguish from the outer packaging of the product. In addition, it can be distinguished according to the composition of different products and the applicable environment. In other words, we want to distinguish between outdoor tile glue and indoor tile glue. Basically, we can see three points. The specific performance is shown in the following three cases.

• 1. The marks on the external standard package are different. The different marks on the outer packaging are also the main basis for us to buy indoor and outdoor tile adhesives. For outdoor ceramic tile adhesive, the letter (y) is usually marked on the outer package or it is written in brackets (outdoor). For indoor tile adhesive, the letter (n) is written on the outer package, or it is written in brackets (indoor). In this way, when we buy tile glue, we can also distinguish it.

• 2. Different compositions. The so-called difference in composition means that the indoor tile adhesive and the outdoor tile adhesive we use are basically the same in their overall composition, but the proportions of various materials are completely different. For outdoor tile glue, the composition of glue inside should be larger, while the composition of glue in indoor ceramic tile glue should be less. That is to say, the exterior tile adhesive has higher requirements for the adhesion of the bonding materials.

• 3. The use environment is different. For indoor and outdoor tile adhesives, different tile adhesives are applicable to indoor and outdoor environments respectively. In fact, the most essential difference is that the outdoor air environment should be considered for the outdoor tile glue, such as wind blowing, sun exposure and rain, and the impact of freezing and thawing in cold winter and hot summer. If these conditions are not considered, the strength of the tile adhesive may be reduced and powdered after a long time, resulting in the falling off of the tile from the wall.

Anyway, there is a big difference. The indoor tile glue is only suitable for indoor tiles, and the stickiness also has certain limitations. The outdoor tile glue is very sticky, and it is especially suitable for outdoor tiles. When using it, you must avoid sticking to your hands or skin.

How To Choose Tile Adhesive For Home Decoration?

When we choose tile adhesive in home decoration, we can not use any kind of tile glue. Because most of the tile adhesives used to installvarious tiles are for different types of tiles. So when we choose tile adhesive, we suggest you should consider the following three issues.

• 1. The use position of tile glue should be selected correctly. The use position of the so-called tile adhesive here is for our indoor and outdoor tile glue. For example, when we install wall tiles for interior decoration, we must choose indoor tile glue. Because the outdoor tile glue contains a large amount of glue, it is easy to cause indoor air pollution. For the tiles installed outdoors, you must choose the outdoor tile glue, otherwise the tiles may fall off.

• 2. The type of tile glue should be selected correctly. The type of tile glue mentioned here should be selected correctly, mainly for the weight of the tile installed by our tile glue, that is, the size of the tile specification. In this case, the tile glue we choose usually includes light tile glue and heavy tile glue. For example, if we stick big tiles on the wall, we must choose heavy-duty tile glue. For some small tiles, you can choose light tile glue.

• 3. For special types of tiles to be laid on the wall, targeted tile adhesive must be selected. Because there are some special tiles, such as large vitrified tiles, microcrystalline stones and so on. For the installation of this kind of tiles, there is usually a special tile adhesive, so we must see clearly when we choose, and do not choose an ordinary tile adhesive.
