Adhesives
Adhesive + grout choices change outcomes
Cheaper adhesives and wrong grout for wet areas can cause debonding, cracks, and stains. Specify them like you specify tiles.
Note: guidance is general. On-site conditions can change the right choice. Use this as a checklist, not a substitute for an engineer/contractor.
What to ask
- •Ask which adhesive + grout brands/grade will be used (and where).
- •Ask if epoxy grout is needed for high-stain / wet zones.
Red flags
- !Installer says “adhesive is all same” or tries to skip grout specification.
