There are a huge number of manufacturers on the building materials market and an endless selection of materials themselves. That is why today it is possible to find suitable materials for rooms with standard conditions, and for rooms with constantly elevated or lowered temperatures, and for wet rooms, and so on.
In this article we would like to talk about the possibility of laying tiles in an unheated room.
Is it possible to put tiles in an unheated room?
Whether or not it is possible to lay tiles in an unheated room is quite an urgent question.
With properly performed work and the purchase of suitable building materials, tiles in an unheated room will last no less than tiles in a dry room with a moderate temperature.
According to the choice of materials , the situation is as follows:
- almost any tile will do: ceramic, granite, marble, etc. The main thing is not to choose tiles that are too large and too thin.
- But as for the adhesive composition, it is necessary to approach its choice more responsibly, since not every tile adhesive retains all its strength characteristics in constantly cold rooms.
Which tile adhesive is suitable for working in cold unheated rooms?
Among the many types of adhesives for tiles, I would like to highlight Teknofay Flex C2TE S1 – a high-quality adhesive of Turkish production.
It is suitable not only for work in an unheated room, but also for reliable tile laying in such cold rooms as freezers. But, of course, laying tiles in the included freezer is impossible. The room may be cold, but its temperature should not be below 0 ° C, and ideally - 5 ° C.
With its quality and other characteristics, Teknofay Flex C2TE S1 adhesive from Tekno manufacturer is not inferior to materials of the same purpose from Mapei and Sika manufacturers.
The adhesive adhesion under normal conditions, and in an environment with high or low temperature, or high humidity is more than 1.0 N / mm2.
The elasticity of the material is more than 2.5 mm2.
Thermal stability – from -40 °C to 80 ° C.
