VITCAS Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive – Ceramic Tile Glue – Fireproof - Excellent Adhesion - For Fixing - Ready To Use – Indoor - Up to 1000 degree Celsius - 5KG

Product Information

VITCAS Heat Resistant Tile Adhesives and Grout are designed for fixing onto Heat Accumulation Boards, Construction Boards, Vermiculite Boards and Ceramic Fibre Boards, as well as tiles in high temmperature environments. They can be used for adhesion in metal to metal, ceramic to masonry or ceramic to metal. The adhesives are also suitable for gap filling. Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive Heat-Resistant Tile Adhesive: This is what you will need when installing fireplace tiles. You need a heat-resistant adhesive because very high heat can easily damage a normal adhesive. Never use organic mastic where there will be high heat. You need a thinset that can handle at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Drywall:A latex thinset is the best choice but a water-mixed thinset or organic mastic could also be used. Tile adhesive is the substance used to hold the tiles to the setting bed. Typically there are two major types: organic mastic and thinset adhesive. Organic mastics are made with either latex or petroleum and are ready to use. Thinset adhesives are powdered and need to be mixed with liquid before they can be used. While organic mastic is much more convenient to use, thinset adhesives actually have a higher bond strength as well as weight-bearing strength. Wall Tile Adhesive Vs. Floor Tile Adhesive

Concrete Slab:For both dry and wet installations choose a latex thinset. Other options for dry installations are organic mastic or a water-mixed thinset. Heavy tiles and materials such as stones, marble, and granite should be fully supported during application and curing. PALACE Heat-Resist is a polymer-fortified adhesive, designed to provide a high strength, durable bond in areas where tiles are installed around a radiant source of heat which does not reach temperatures in excess of 250°C. This is typical of conditions found around domestic installations such as a log burning fire, cooking range/stove or a traditional Aga Oven. It is a pale grey powder based blend incorporating special hydraulic binders which produces a non-slump, fast setting paste suitable for fixing ceramic, porcelain and vitrified tiles in areas surrounding a radiant source of heat. PALACE Heat-Resist should only be used for fixing tiles onto solid masonry surfaces or cement board structures which are stable when exposed to high temperatures. Note: It is essential to confirm that all tiles selected for use in this type of location are similarly heat resistant Versatile Application: Ideal for use with fire surrounds, behind boilers, ranges, cookers, and radiators.

Excellent bonding with Vitcas high temperature adhesives

Mortar:For both dry and wet installations the best choice would be a latex thinset adhesive and if that’s not available a water-mixed thinset could work be used.

Plywood:For both dry and wet installations an epoxy thinset or a latex thinset is specifically made for plywood. This is an important question and answering it correctly will determine if you need a waterproof adhesive or not. The main bathroom would be considered a wet job whereas a kitchen floor would be a dry job. This look boldly displays the wood burner front and centre whilst framing it with country-esque touches. The matching rug complements the stove nicely and draws even more attention to the centre of the room. 2. Wooden beams are an alcoves best friend Just take a putty knife, margin trowel, or utility knife and simply scrape off all of the existing adhesive. When replacing tile adhesive remember to use the same exact adhesive that was used originally. Unfortunately, sometimes this isn’t possible, and if that is the case try to use the same type. So if organic mastic was used, use that. If a thinset was used, use a thinset.Porcelain tiles work in a very similar fashion because of their density and how they're manufactured.

High-Temperature Resistance: Formulated specifically for areas exposed to elevated temperatures, it remains reliable and steadfast where ordinary tile adhesives may falter. Resistant to 1000°C /1830°F You'll need a steady supply of firewood to keep your wood burner roaring. Why not upcycle an old bookcase and place it nearby to not only add to the overall charm of the burner but keep the extra fuel to hand when you need it.

Another stunning way to add rustic charm to any room is to add a wooden beam as a mantelpiece to the top of the fireplace. For application on fresh cement or plaster surfaces, ensure you also seal that surface with VITCAS PVA for optimal results. The material that you will adhere your tile to will also be important because some adhesives work better with some materials than others. Here are the best based on setting bed material: Floor Tile Adhesive: Organic mastics are the most commonly used floor tile adhesive because of the fact that there is no mixing involved and are therefore more convenient. They are usually a little bit cheaper too. However, when it comes to floor tile adhesive thinset adhesives are actually superior and should be the preferred choice. The fact that they have a stronger bond and can handle more weight makes them perfectly suited for floor tiles which obviously will get much more wear than wall tiles. Other Types Of Tile Adhesive
