Discuss Help!!!! Tiles falling off wall! in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Lily When you re tile try not to put the adhesive on so thick. To thick = tiles fall off. Tub adhesive is a good product if used correctly, even if its fix and grout made by Unibond.
I was trying to work out some comments from earlier "pros dont use tub adhesive" "that type is rubbish"
There must be 350 topps tiles, say 100 tile giants 30 or so tile depots, 500 tile independents and say another 100 distributor showrooms 300 BQ 150 Wickes etc (i could name many more) in the UK.
If each one only sold 30 tubs a week (most sell that a day) thats 46,000 tubs a week. 46,000 tubs is a minimum per week thats 800 pallets.
Is tub adhesive only being used by DIY people fixing tiles? I doubt it very much.
Im not saying tub adhesive is better than powder adhesive but if used correctly it will stick tiles to walls for many years.
Food for thought
I think we mean proper tilers use powdered adhesive.
This in turn speeds up the tiling process , as tubbed adhesive takes a lot longer to cure/dry with it being a dispersion adhesive and also bagged adhesive is not affected by moisture ingress if that occurs.
Tubbed adhesive is fine yes, but has its limits and tile size will determine its use, 300x300 being the max size.
And most tiles are larger than that now and staff at a majority of shops need to be educated in what should and should not be used.
I dare bet an awful lot of tubbed gear is sold for incorrect use.
