Oftentimes, people skip this step, thinking it is not essential. However, improper preparation can result in poor <\/span>adhesive applications<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and premature tile detachment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Prepare the Surface:<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove dust, grease, and any old adhesive residues.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the surface is uneven, use a leveling compound to ensure a smooth, even base.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-prepared surface guarantees strong adhesion, offering <\/span>durable adhesives<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that bond securely.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>2. Using the Wrong Adhesive for the Job<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all tile adhesives are the same. Different tiles require different adhesives. For example, vitrified and ceramic tiles often need epoxy adhesives. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/tiles\/stone-tiles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stone tiles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might require waterproof adhesives. Using the wrong adhesive can cause poor bonding and early deterioration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Choose the Right Adhesive:\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Consider the tile type and surface material.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Understand the specific requirements for strength and moisture resistance.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The correct adhesive ensures a firm, durable bond, making tiles resistant to foot traffic, water, and other stresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>3. Incorrect Mixing Techniques<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common mistakes in tile installation is improper adhesive mixing. Incorrect mixing can result in adhesives that are either too thick or too thin, compromising the bond\u2019s strength.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Proper Mixing Tips:\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for the correct proportions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Use clean, cool water to mix the adhesive thoroughly to achieve smoothness and even consistency.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-mixed adhesive ensures better coverage, better bonding, and greater tile stability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b style=\"font-size: 40px; letter-spacing: -0.0415625em; font-family: 'Inter var', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;\">4.

Not including <\/span>expansive joints<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can result in cracking and warping.

Sometimes, some people rush through the drying phase to use the area too soon.

Overlooking Moisture Resistance\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Tiles in wet areas, like washrooms and kitchens, are exposed to constant moisture. Using tile adhesives that are not moisture resistant can lead to tiles loosening or warping over time.<\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Prevent Moisture Damage:<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for <\/span>waterproof adhesives<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for wet areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use moisture-resistant adhesives to protect your tiles from water damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>8.
