However, it should be noted that cement, as an adhesive for tiling, must be properly blended with cement and other materials during use, which requires a proportion. In general, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, and the label of cement cannot be too high, and 32.5 cement is the main type, otherwise the tiles will bulge and fall off after the paving. In addition to the requirements of the cement mortar mix ratio, the technical requirements for tile laying are also very high, so you must find some skilled masters to operate.
