Key Features: When browsing options, make sure the material is suitable for the room you plan to install it. Why? Tiles applied to walls in a bathroom or kitchen will have different requirements than those used for something like an entryway accent wall. PALACE Heat-Resist is a polymer-fortified adhesive, designed to provide a high strength, durable bond in areas where tiles are installed around a radiant source of heat which does not reach temperatures in excess of 250°C. This is typical of conditions found around domestic installations such as a log burning fire, cooking range/stove or a traditional Aga Oven. It is a pale grey powder based blend incorporating special hydraulic binders which produces a non-slump, fast setting paste suitable for fixing ceramic, porcelain and vitrified tiles in areas surrounding a radiant source of heat. PALACE Heat-Resist should only be used for fixing tiles onto solid masonry surfaces or cement board structures which are stable when exposed to high temperatures. Note: It is essential to confirm that all tiles selected for use in this type of location are similarly heat resistant While they're made of vinyl rather than real concrete, the untrained eye won't be able to tell the difference. And although the material isn't suitable for floors, you can install these tiles on any wall in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, mudroom, stairwell—you name it.

Concrete Slab:For both dry and wet installations choose a latex thinset. Other options for dry installations are organic mastic or a water-mixed thinset. Waterproof Tile Adhesive: This would be used when doing an installation in an area that will frequently be getting wet like in the main bathroom or a kitchen countertop. These will be a thinset but which type depends on the surface you are setting your tile on. Very happy with this adhesive. It worked well with my porcelain tiles and has held up well in high temperatures." This is an important question and answering it correctly will determine if you need a waterproof adhesive or not. The main bathroom would be considered a wet job whereas a kitchen floor would be a dry job. Tile adhesive is the substance used to hold the tiles to the setting bed. Typically there are two major types: organic mastic and thinset adhesive. Organic mastics are made with either latex or petroleum and are ready to use. Thinset adhesives are powdered and need to be mixed with liquid before they can be used. While organic mastic is much more convenient to use, thinset adhesives actually have a higher bond strength as well as weight-bearing strength. Wall Tile Adhesive Vs. Floor Tile AdhesiveHeavy tiles and materials such as stones, marble, and granite should be fully supported during application and curing. Vitcas Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive is a ready mixed tile adhesive specially formulated for use high-temperature areas such as around the fireplace, behind wood-burning stoves, ranges, radiators, and boilers. The adhesive is made of a non-combustible inorganic material with a high-temperature resistance of up to 1000°C, ensuring a safe and secure bonding.

Beyond the size of the individual tiles, note the dimensions of each self-adhesive sheet or piece, which might have anywhere from eight to 50 tiles on it, depending on the scale.You'll need a steady supply of firewood to keep your wood burner roaring. Why not upcycle an old bookcase and place it nearby to not only add to the overall charm of the burner but keep the extra fuel to hand when you need it. Have you considered metal tile? The Brushed Penny collection from SpeedTiles is made of real metal and features small round tiles roughly the size of pennies—but copper isn't your only option. Drywall:A latex thinset is the best choice but a water-mixed thinset or organic mastic could also be used. The material is water-resistant and washable, so you can mop it as needed. This DIY floor-covering solution can be applied over most existing materials, though the brand says it won't secure as well to grouted tiles and floating wood laminate.

How to Remove Tile AdhesiveThe Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive should not be used as a grout. For grouting needs, utilise VITCAS Heat Resistant Tile Grout. As with tile surfaces, your grout joints are at risk of becoming stained and discoloured by ash and other detritus associated with open fires, so it’s always a good idea to protect them. Grout joints within natural stone and polished tile installations will be sealed just along with the tiles themselves if you’ve gone down the sealing route, however, you can protect just the grout even those installations that don’t require sealing. We recommend our LTP Grout Protectors for the job. If you’ve opted to use tiles with a polished finish in your fire surround then do ensure that you seal them if required. The manufacturers instructions will stipulate whether the tiles need sealing or not – tiles with this kind of finish often require such an action so as to prevent them from staining. Whilst most porcelain tiles are impervious to organic matter, those with highly polished surfaces and porous tiles such as those constructed from natural stone like limestone and slate will be susceptible to staining by ash, soot or damage from an errant ember, so please do seal them. We recommend LTP Porcelain Tile Protector for the job. Use Heat Resistant Adhesive & Grout
