The Everbuild 705 Rapid Set Tile Mortar Adhesive is a 20kg cement-based adhesive with added polymers that sets within 1-3 hours, suitable for fixing ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles on walls and floors in both internal and external applications.

Who This Product Is For

This adhesive suits tradespeople working to tight schedules who need same-day progress on tiling projects. It also works for home users undertaking tiling work in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas where quick setting times are beneficial.

It is appropriate for jobs in moisture-exposed areas like bathrooms and kitchens, as well as for commercial flooring installations and external tiling on patios or balconies.

Key Features

• Rapid Setting Time: Sets within 1-3 hours to support same-day progress.
• Strong Bond: Secures a variety of tile types, even under load.
• Wall and Floor Compatible: Suitable for both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
• Water-Resistant: Performs in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.
• Non-Slip Formula: Keeps tiles in place during positioning.
• 20kg Bag: Suitable for covering larger areas during installation.

Practical Applications

• Laying floor tiles in kitchens and utility areas.
• Fixing tiles in bathrooms and wet rooms.
• Outdoor tiling, such as balconies and patios.
• Heavy-use commercial flooring.
• Tiling over stable, existing tile surfaces.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This rapid-set mortar is used during the tile fixing stage, after surface preparation and before grouting. It allows for same-day progress where time is limited, enabling tiles to be fixed and potentially grouted within a single working day for light-use areas.

The adhesive is applied with a notched trowel in small sections, with tiles pressed firmly into place while the adhesive remains workable. The fast-setting nature means work must proceed promptly, but it reduces waiting time before grouting can commence.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Check that the surface is clean, dry, and solid.
   • Remove dust, grease, or loose materials. Prime porous backgrounds if required.
2. Mixing:
   • Gradually add the product to 4-5 litres of clean water per 20kg bag.
   • Mix until smooth. Let it stand for 2 minutes, then stir again.
3. Application:
   • Apply adhesive with a notched trowel in small sections.
   • Work promptly before the adhesive begins to set.
4. Tile Placement:
   • Press tiles firmly into place to achieve full contact.
   • Use spacers to maintain grout lines.
5. Drying Time:
   • The adhesive sets in 1 to 3 hours. Avoid traffic during this time.
6. Grouting:
   • Wait 24 hours before grouting in high-traffic areas.
   • For light use, same-day grouting may be suitable.
   • Use a grout finishing tool to smooth and shape joints after grouting.
