Practical Site Estimate

Approximately 2 bags per brass, depending on tile size, substrate condition, and application method.

Mixing Instructions

• Use approximately 5.0–5.2 litres of clean water per 20 kg bag.
• Mix using a slow-speed mechanical mixer until a smooth, lump-free consistency is obtained.
• Allow the adhesive to mature for 3–5 minutes, then remix briefly before use.
• Do not add extra water after the adhesive begins to set.

Application Procedure

Step 1 – Surface Inspection

Ensure existing tiles are firmly bonded. Remove any loose, hollow, cracked, or damaged tiles before installation.

Step 2 – Surface Preparation

Clean the existing tiled surface thoroughly to remove grease, wax, soap residue, dust, paint, polish, or other contaminants. Lightly roughening glossy tiles can further improve mechanical adhesion.

Step 3 – Mixing

Prepare the adhesive according to the recommended water ratio until a smooth, workable consistency is achieved.

Step 4 – Adhesive Application

Spread the adhesive evenly using an appropriate notched trowel. For larger or low-porosity tiles, back-buttering is recommended to achieve maximum contact.

Step 5 – Tile Installation

Press the tile firmly with a slight twisting motion to ensure full adhesive transfer. Use spacers to maintain uniform joints.

Step 6 – Finishing

Allow adequate curing before grouting or opening the surface to traffic.

Best Practices

✓ Check existing tiles for soundness before installation.

✓ Remove all loose tiles before beginning work.

✓ Clean glossy tile surfaces thoroughly.

✓ Use the appropriate notched trowel.

✓ Periodically lift a tile to verify full adhesive coverage.

Avoid These Mistakes

✗ Installing over loose or hollow existing tiles.

✗ Applying on greasy, polished, or contaminated surfaces without cleaning.

✗ Adding cement or sand to the adhesive.

✗ Adding water after the adhesive begins setting.

✗ Exceeding the recommended tile size.

Product Selection Guide

Choose T2 Tile-on-Tile Adhesive when:

• Renovating existing tiled floors or walls.
• Fixing new tiles directly over old tiles.
• Installing tiles up to 600 × 600 mm.

Pro Tip: Before installing new tiles over old ones, tap the existing tiles with a rubber mallet. Hollow-sounding or loose tiles should be removed and repaired before fixing new tiles to ensure a durable installation.
