Selecting tiles for a house is always a big deal. From finalising the application areas to choosing from numerous designs, lot of effort is spent on it.

But not enough focus is given on successful tile installation, which guarantees years of trouble-free performance and improves the home’s value and aesthetics. A tiled surface typically has to stand up to wet conditions, frequent cleaning, contraction and expansion of the substrate and range of pressures, which can create severe stress on the bond between tiles and the substrate. Traditional sand & cement mortar is often unable to sustain its bond with tiles, under demanding circumstances.

BESTBUILD TILEBOND tile adhesives provides a durable bonding of tiles with the substrate that can withstand the different types of stress and keep the tiles intact. Advantages of using TILEBOND are:

  • Needs no curing
  • Slip resistant
  • Durable adhesion
  • Water resistant
  • Improves aesthetics
  • Saves time
  • No need to procure sand & cement separately
  • No wastage of sand procured in loads
