WB24 Porcelain
20 kg
24 hr advanced adhesive for smaller and larger format porcelain tiles
weber tylon® WB24 Porcelain is a cement‑based, thick, and thin (3‑20mm) bed tile adhesive for the fixing of all porcelain tiles to walls and floors. Produced from carefully selected raw materials for consistency of product, it only requires the addition of water on site.

Step 1 - Mixing
- Combine a 20 kg bag of weber tylon® WB24 Porcelain with 5 litres of clean water and stir until completely free of lumps
- In wet or permanently wet conditions, replace the water in the mix with weber tylon Bond‑it
- Allow the mixture to mature for 5 minutes and re‑mix thoroughly. The consistency can be adjusted by adding a small amount of water
- Do not add too much water or attempt to extend the working time by adding more water as this will cause the adhesive to be weak with a tendency to crumble
- Do not mix more adhesive than can be applied within 8 hours
Step 2 - Application
- Spread adhesive using a notched trowel to a minimum bedded thickness of 3 mm on walls and 6 mm on floors.
- Heavily lugged, grooved or dovetailed tiles must be buttered to fill any voids with adhesive before placing into wet adhesive.
- Press tiles firmly into wet adhesive with a twisting action. Use a rubber mallet to bed large or heavy tiles.
- Occasionally lift a tile to check that full contact is being made between the tile and the adhesive.
- Do not butt joint tiles.
- Clean excess adhesive off the surface once tiles are firmly set using a damp sponge.
- Once the adhesive has hardened, only mechanical removal is possible.
- Minimum grouting joints for walls is 2 mm and 3 mm for floors.
- Adhesive must be allowed to dry for 24 hours before grouting commences.
Step 3 - Grouting
- Ensure that the joints are free from tile adhesive and any other foreign matter.
- Allow 24 hours before grouting with weber tylon® Tile grout. Allow 48 hours for sealed or non‑porous surfaces.
- In wet or permanently wet conditions, replace the water in the mix with weber tylon® Bond‑it
Depending on the nature and evenness of the surface and method of application, coverage is approximately 6 m² per 20 kg bag when applied using a 6 mm notched trowel (wall tiling) and 4 m² per 20 kg bag when applied when using a 10 mm notched trowel (floor tiling) i.e.: based on a level/even floor.
