Advantages of cement mortar:
Low cost: Cement mortar is a traditional building material, and its raw material cost is relatively low.
Wide range of application: cement mortar is suitable for the pasting of various tiles and walls, and has a wide range of applications.
Disadvantages of cement mortar:
Difficult construction: cement mortar needs to be stirred on site, and the proportion is not well mastered, which will affect the bonding effect, and the construction is greatly affected by the weather.
Easy to hollow: cement mortar is easy to hollow when pasting tiles, which affects the decorative effect.
Not easy to control: the ratio and uniformity of cement mortar are not easy to control, which is easy to affect the construction quality.
Advantages of tile adhesives:
Easy construction: The tile adhesive only needs to be mixed with water in proportion, and the construction is simple.
Good flexibility: tile adhesive has good flexibility, can adapt to the thermal expansion and cold contraction of ceramic tiles, and effectively prevent tile hollowing.
Good water resistance: tile adhesive has good water resistance and is not easy to fall off by moisture.
Disadvantages of tile adhesives:
Higher cost: The cost of tile adhesives is higher compared to cement mortar.
Limited scope of application: Tile adhesives are suitable for the pasting of various tiles and walls, but have high requirements for the construction base surface, and may not be suitable for excessively wet walls or long-term flooded environments.
To sum up, cement mortar and tile adhesive have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of use should be weighed according to the specific situation.
