TAL STIX 20kg General Purpose Ceramic Tile Adhesive

The TAL STIX 20kg General Purpose Ceramic Tile Adhesive is the perfect solution for both DIY enthusiasts and light-duty professional tiling projects. This grey, cement-based powder adhesive is specifically formulated to provide reliable performance and ease of use. It makes the entire tiling process simpler.

TAL developed STIX as a versatile adhesive. You can use it for fixing standard ceramic tiles to walls and floors. Furthermore, it is suitable for installation in both interior and exterior areas, offering great flexibility for your renovation plans.

Designed for DIY Convenience

This adhesive focuses on making tiling accessible to everyone. It requires only the addition of clean water to create a creamy, lump-free mixture. Crucially, it offers an extended pot life of up to three hours after mixing. This generous working time allows homeowners or beginners to mix a full 20kg bag and take their time during the application process. This extended time significantly reduces material waste and minimizes stress.

Versatile Application and Thickness

You can confidently use TAL STIX to fix ceramic tiles in a range of environments, including dry rooms and covered outdoor patios. The recommended application thickness is between 3mm and 6mm. You can even use it up to 12mm in small, isolated areas if necessary. However, when you fix lightweight glazed ceramic wall tiles, you must ensure the adhesive bed does not exceed 5mm in thickness. This simple requirement prevents slumping.

For high-traffic areas, extremely wet conditions, or installations over flexible substrates, you should consider upgrading your mix. Instead of water, replace the water in the mix with TAL Bond. This liquid additive enhances flexibility, strength, and water resistance for heavy-duty applications.

High Quality and Coverage

A single 20kg bag of TAL STIX 20kg General Purpose Ceramic Tile Adhesive provides excellent coverage. You can expect coverage of approximately 7m² when you use a notched wall trowel. Alternatively, anticipate about 4m² when you use a notched floor trowel for heavier tiles. The adhesive is walkable after 24 hours. The final set is achieved within 48 hours. Ultimately, this allows for fast project turnaround. For essential tools like notched trowels and grout floats, consult our TAL Tiling Tools range.
