About this product
Old-style sand and cement mortar shrinks as it dries. That leaves gaps behind the tile, and gaps are where the hollow sound and the cracks come from. Rockfix Tile Adhesive is a polymer modified, cement based adhesive that you spread in a thin, even bed, so the whole tile sits in full contact.
It works on plastered walls, concrete floors and existing tiles, and it holds large vitrified slabs that ordinary mortar struggles with. Mix it with clean water, comb it on with a notched trowel and press the tile in.
