SUBSTRATE DIAGNOSIS BEFORE TILING

For Efficient Adhesion of Adhesive and Grout

Common issues and queries you can face

1. Flatness

The substrate should be flat without dust or any residues.

2. Stability

3. Hardness

The substrate should be both hard and resistant in order to avoid cracking or disbonding at a later stage.

4. Porosity

Cement-based substrates should have normal absorption in order to avoid premature water loss from the cement-based adhesive and to ensure that the bond can develop correctly.

5. Adhesion

The substrate has to be cohesive and resistant in order to ensure the cement-based adhesive bonds properly.

6. Cleanliness

The substrate has to be clean in order to ensure the adhesive bonds properly.

7. Humidity

The humidity on the substrate shouldn't get higher than limitation.
