Frequently Asked Questions
Technical and operational questions regarding this service in Dubai & Sharjah.
Why do floor tiles hollow and buckle (tent) in Dubai villas?
Tiles tent when installed without sufficient expansion perimeter gaps or using cheap non-flexible adhesive that cannot handle thermal slab movement.
What adhesive specification do you use for large porcelain tiles?
We use C2TE S1 or S2 polymer-modified flexible tile adhesives (such as Mapei Kerabond T / Keraflex) with 100% back-buttering coverage.
