Varieties of Wall Tile Adhesive You Can Use

Tile adhesive or mortar is the first step to laying new tiles. It sticks tiles to the wall or floor and is an adhesive for stone.

Thinset mortar is the most common adhesive and is a popular choice. It is cement-based and comes in a powder form.
Tile mastic is a sticky adhesive delivered in pre-mixed tubs. It is best used in dry areas, is simple to use, and is easy to clean up afterwards. A downside is that tile mastic does not adhere to glass tiles.
Epoxy mortar. It is resin-based and has three components - resin, hardener and powder. It sets quickly and is waterproof and grease resistant. It is a popular choice for industrial floors but is more expensive than other adhesives.
