What is the difference between cement mortar, ready-mixed mortar and tile adhesive?
Today, I will talk about ready-mixed mortar, tile adhesive and cement mortar, which can be regarded as an answer to a landlord’s question.
Many owners have misunderstandings about these three materials. Cement mortar is well understood, that is, cement sand is mixed with water in a proportion and used.

This material is widely used and has been used for a long time, so it is not new to every owner.
Ready-mixed mortar, a material that confuses many owners.
A few days ago, an owner asked me what kind of tile adhesive to choose for ready-mixed mortar.
This is obviously a novice owner, ready mix mortar and tile glue are two different materials.
Ready-mixed mortar is cement sand and some admixtures and admixtures mixed together, stirred by professional equipment, bagged, and only need to add water when using.
In layman’s terms, ready-mixed mortar is actually a hardcover version of cement sand, just like wall tiles, bricklayers need to sieve the sand, and then mix it with cement, and if you use ready-mixed mortar, you can directly open the package, You can use it with water.
Ready-mixed mortar can completely replace cement sand, the only difference is that this material is more expensive than cement sand.

For example, the price of a bag of ready-mixed mortar in the market is about 25 yuan, usually 25 kilograms, while the price of 25 kilograms of cement mortar may be enough, so the cost is different.
The use scene of ready-mixed mortar is the same as that of cement mortar. For example, half tiles can be used, and the wall can be leveled, but it is obviously impossible to use this material to paste full tiles.
Finally, we need to talk about tile adhesive. This material is generally mainly used for paving full tiles, because it has relatively strong stickiness and strong anti-skid properties, and can firmly fix the full tiles to the wall in a relatively short period of time. , and it is not easy to drop bricks in the later stage.
There are also many grades of tile adhesives. According to the different specifications of the tiles, the grades of the selected tile adhesives are also different. The tile adhesive of the C1 level can be used for laying the medium board, and the C2 level is used for the large board.

Tile adhesive should not be used blindly. It cannot be used directly like cement sand, because the material itself is relatively expensive. Generally, the thin sticking method is used when using this material. The flatness of the wall needs to be leveled with cement mortar in advance.
In this way, everyone can understand that the three materials have different uses, and the corresponding materials are matched according to the selected tiles.
