Tile adhesives are better for fixing tiles and marbles than cement mortar. Traditional tile installation methods using cement mortar have their drawbacks. Cement mortar shrinks after drying, leaving hollow spaces below the surface of the tile. This creates weak spots in the floor which when hit a little hard, could chip or crack the tile. For a durable and trouble-free installation of tiles, adhesive is the perfect solution.
