Unis adhesive for tiles: characteristics and consumption
When working with tiles, it is important to choose the right solution for which the material will be attached to the wall. Few people choose a cement-sand mixture due to the inconvenience that arises in the process of laying: slipping tiles, various unpleasant sounds when working with this solution. Nowadays, special adhesives for tiles are popular, which have a number of advantages over DSP.
Their most important advantage is that in dry mixes all components that had previously had to be dosed manually were already calculated.
