1. Block Adhesive

 

A factory-mixed blend of Portland cement, graded sand, and specialized polymers.

• Self-Curing: Does not require water curing after application, saving time and water.

• Thermal Insulation: Better matches the thermal properties of AAC blocks, reducing "thermal bridging" (heat loss through joints).

• Best For: Internal and external load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls using lightweight blocks.

 

2. Tile Adhesive

• Tile adhesive is a ready-to-use mixture used to bond tiles (ceramic, porcelain, vitrified, or stone) to floors or walls.

• Type 1 (Normal)Small ceramic tiles on interior walls/floors.Cost-effective for basic home use.

• Type 2 (Polymer-Modified)Large vitrified tiles or tiles in wet areas (bathrooms).High bond strength and flexibility.

• Type 3 (Exterior)Outdoor wall cladding or facades.High weather resistance.

 

3. Epoxy vs. Cement Grout

Grout is the material used to fill the joints (gaps) between tiles once they are set.

Choosing the right one determines how often you will have to scrub your floor.

 

Cement Grout

The traditional choice, made from a mix of cement, water, and sometimes sand (sanded vs. unsanded).

• Very affordable, easy for DIYers to apply, and available in hundreds of colors.

• Best For: Dry areas like bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings.

 

Epoxy Grout

A high-performance option made from epoxy resins and a hardener.

• Non-porous and naturally waterproof. It is virtually stain-proof, chemical-resistant, and does not crack or shrink.​

• Best For: Kitchen backsplashes (grease resistance), shower floors, swimming pools, and hospitals.
