It is always important to select the right tile and the right tile installation system for each different area of the specific project.

Thanks to our knowhow in various application fields such as waterproofing, flooring and insulation, Sika is able to provide full systems. Once the system is selected, the next critical step is proper application. If the system is not correctly installed, it could cause failures or leaks.
