Fix (Ready Mix Adhesives)

Ready-mixed tile adhesives are ideal for internal projects for tiling onto walls. Our range includes products with greater resistance to moisture, stronger bonds, and extra flexibility.

Our product range includes mould-resistant tile grouts and silicone sealant in a wide choice of colours

Our technical solutions

Working with natural stone - protection/maintenance

Natural stone tiles require careful preparation prior to grouting, and need regular maintenance

Tiling with natural stone

Tiles classed as 'natural materials' vary immensely from ceramics in appearance and application requirements

Tiling onto green screeds or concrete

Newly-laid screeds take time to stabilise, so tiling onto the screed too early can end in disaster as the screed shrinks during the drying process.

Tiling onto floating floors

Floating floors are those which are used to improve insulation and/or to reduce noise. As they are not attached to a rigid substrate, they require extra care when tiling onto.

Tiling onto anhydrite screeds

Anhydrite screeds have become quite popular, but tilers must be aware of a number of potential problems.

Tiling uneven surfaces

It's important that the finished tile surface is flat with no tiles standing higher than the others. However, if the substrate is uneven, a number of problems can arise.

Tiling with an uncoupling membrane

Since uncoupling membranes are available in many different types, it is important to be aware of issues you may face when tiling.

Tiling with underfloor heating or under tile warming

Underfloor heating can cause an array of issues if not tiled onto correctly, from cracking due to heat expansion to damaging wires with your trowel.

Tiling onto wood

Whereas tiles are rigid and brittle, timber floors are flexible, which causes some movement in timber floors which need to be considered prior to tiling. Image courtesy of Schluter Systems Ltd.

Protecting a water-sensitive substrate

Tiled areas in kitchens, bathrooms and showers can be subject to high humidity or water, which means the a waterproofing layer needs to be applied before laying tiles.
