Buildhub TileSet Tile Adhesive Cement 20kg

The Buildhub TileSet Tile Adhesive Cement is a C2TE classified polymer-modified cementitious adhesive formulated to meet the increasing demands of modern tiling — larger format tiles, heavier natural stone materials, underfloor heating substrates, and increasingly complex tiling environments including wet rooms, swimming pools, and external facades. The C2 classification indicates improved adhesion over standard C1 adhesives, the T classification confirms non-slip performance that prevents large-format tiles from slipping during installation, and the E classification confirms extended open time that gives tilers working in warm conditions sufficient time to bed large format tiles accurately.

The extended open time of TileSet — 40 minutes versus the 20-25 minutes of standard tile adhesives — is a practically significant advantage when tiling with formats above 300x300mm or working in warm, drying site conditions. Large format tiles require careful positioning, back-buttering, and alignment before final bedding, and the extended working window of TileSet provides the time margin that professional results in this tile size category demand.

The non-slip additive system in TileSet produces a structured adhesive bed that grips tiles immediately upon placement and resists downward slippage under gravity during the setting period — eliminating the need for temporary supports or adhesive tab systems when installing tiles on vertical surfaces, and critically important for large-format tile installation where edge-only contact with adhesive ridges can allow significant tile movement before initial set.

TileSet is compatible with concrete, sand-cement render, cement particle board (CPB), tile backer board, existing sound tiles (with appropriate primer), and timber-based substrates (with DPM membrane). Full compatibility and preparation guidance for each substrate type is available in the TileSet technical data sheet.
