Impervious tiles or substrates

When tiling an area that is already tiled or painted it is often necessary to invest considerable time in stripping and then repairing the substrate. In certain situations it is much more straightforward to over tile the existing layer. However, this requires careful consideration and extra properties from the adhesive.

Problem

Solution

Tile directly onto well-adhered ceramic, vinyl tiles or paint

Highly polymer-modified adhesives achieve a sound chemical bond onto impervious surfaces overcoming the need for suction and mechanical keying.
