Butech Tile Adhesive

Large-format porcelain tiles are heavier and less porous than standard tiles, so they require a high-performance adhesive with strong initial grab to prevent slippage during installation. Butech offers adhesives specifically suited to large-format and rectified porcelain, and our team at Stoke Tiles can help you identify the correct product for your tile size and substrate if you are unsure.

Yes, there are Butech adhesive products formulated for use in wet and high-humidity environments such as shower enclosures and bathrooms. It is important to select the correct grade for your specific application, as not all adhesives within the range carry the same moisture-resistance rating. Check the product datasheet or speak to our team before purchasing for a wet room project.

Coverage rates vary depending on the tile size, substrate condition, and adhesive type, but each Butech product includes a coverage guide on its packaging and datasheet. As a general rule, larger or heavier tiles and uneven substrates will consume more adhesive. We recommend calculating your floor or wall area in square metres and allowing a small overage for waste and cuts.

Porcelanosa developed the Butech range in-house to ensure that their adhesives are chemically and mechanically optimised for their own ceramic and porcelain tile collections. Using a manufacturer-recommended adhesive reduces the risk of compatibility issues, supports a more reliable installation outcome, and means both the tile and the fixing system come from a single trusted source with a consistent quality standard.
