Tile Adhesives — EN 12004-1 Classification
Selecting the right tile adhesive is the most critical step in a durable installation. The European standard EN 12004-1 gives every product an alphanumeric code (e.g. C2TES1) describing its chemistry, performance and special features.
Base Type
- C — Cementitious (powder + water/latex)
- D — Dispersion (ready-to-use paste)
- R — Reaction resin (epoxy/PU)
Performance Class
- 1 — Normal performance
- 2 — Improved (large/porcelain tiles, exterior)
Special Features
- F — Fast-setting
- T — Reduced slip
- E — Extended open time
Deformability
- S1 — Deformable (2.5–5 mm)
- S2 — Highly deformable (>5 mm)
| Code | Meaning | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Standard Cementitious | Standard ceramic tiles on indoor concrete floors. |
| C2 | Improved Cementitious | Porcelain tiles or outdoor patio installations. |
| D1 | Standard Dispersion | Ceramic wall tiles in a dry interior room. |
| R2 | Improved Reaction Resin | Industrial kitchen floors exposed to chemicals. |
| C2T | Improved, Non-Slip | Large-format tiles on bathroom walls. |
| C2F | Improved, Fast-Setting | Retail floor tiling requiring next-day opening. |
| C2TES1 | Improved, Non-Slip, Extended Open Time, Flexible | The all-rounder — large porcelain over underfloor heating. |
Tile Grouts — EN 13888 Classification
Grout locks tiles together, seals the joints and provides the final finish. EN 13888 classifies grout by chemical base, performance class and special characteristics.
Chemistry
- CG — Cementitious grout
- RG — Reaction-resin (epoxy), 100% waterproof
Class
- 1 — Normal
- 2 — Improved (polymer-modified)
Special
- W — Reduced water absorption
- A — High abrasion resistance
| Code | Meaning | Ideal Application |
|---|---|---|
| CG1 | Standard Cementitious Grout | Dry living-room floors or basic wall tiles. |
| CG2 | Improved Cementitious Grout | Residential floors, including underfloor heating. |
