Specification
Tile size, substrate movement and exposure decide the class, not the brand. Five classes cover almost every tile fixing requirement on a UAE site, each backed by named products across the four brands we stock.
Weber webercol fix 401 is the standard C1T cementitious adhesive for basic ceramic tile installations on walls and floors.
Weber webercol pro (C2TE), Mapei Kerabond T and Laticrete 254 Platinum are improved cementitious adhesives for porcelain tiles and larger formats that need stronger bond strength than a C1 product.
Weber webercol premium (C2TES1), Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero and Laticrete 335 Pro Premium Flexible add deformability for substrates with thermal movement, heated floors and large format tiles.
Weber webercol flex (C2TES2) is the most deformable adhesive in the range, specified for large format panels and facade tiling where movement is greatest.
Mapei Kerapoxy, Weber weberepox easy and Laticrete SpectraLock Pro Premium are two component epoxy systems for swimming pools, commercial kitchens and other chemically aggressive sites.
Large tiles and gauged porcelain panels need an adhesive engineered for full coverage without voids. Laticrete LHT mortars such as 325 Premium are built for tiles up to 3 metres, Weber webercol flex is the C2TES2 highly deformable adhesive for panels 60x120cm and larger, Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero is a no vertical slip adhesive with extended open time for large format tiles, and Kerakoll Biogel No Limits is a gel adhesive that bonds any material to any substrate for the most demanding jobs.
Marble and natural stone need an adhesive selected for the stone type to avoid staining and bleed through. Laticrete offers white thin-set mortars that prevent bleed through on light coloured stones, Kerakoll Biogel formulations suit moisture sensitive stones such as green marble, and Mapei recommends Tile Adhesive for Marbles and Tile Glue for Marbles based on stone type, thickness and installation area.
Where demolition is not an option, Kerakoll Biogel gel adhesives are designed for renovation directly over existing dimensionally stable ceramic coverings, and Laticrete PRIME-N-BOND primer allows a new thin-set to bond to clean, sound existing tile. Both approaches remove the need to strip the old finish before retiling.
Bathrooms, kitchens and commercial wet areas need a grout that will not stain or harbour bacteria under frequent cleaning. Mapei Kerapoxy and Kerapoxy Easy Design are two component epoxy grouts for hygiene sensitive spaces, Weber weberepox easy is the epoxy grout and adhesive for commercial kitchens and food areas, and Laticrete PermaColor cementitious grout with Water Dispersion Technology resists staining in residential and light commercial bathrooms.
Permanent submersion and chlorine rule out a standard cementitious grout. Laticrete SpectraLock epoxy grout is formulated for swimming pools, fountains and spas with permanent water exposure, Weber weberepox easy resists pool chemicals and salt water, and Kerakoll Fugalite Bio is chlorine resistant and waterproof for pool and spa tiling.
Thermal movement on facades and terraces calls for a deformable adhesive, not a rigid one. Weber webercol flex (C2TES2) and webercol premium (C2TES1) are the S1 and S2 deformable adhesives Weber specifies for external applications in UAE climate conditions, and Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero gives the same deformability for large format exterior tiling.
Heated floors move as they cycle through temperature, so the adhesive and grout both need to flex with the substrate. Weber specifies S1 or S2 deformable adhesives such as webercol premium or webercol flex for heated floor installations, with a flexible grout used at the perimeters once the system has been commissioned and cycled before tiling.

Buyer's checklist
A hollow tile shows up long after the invoice is paid. These five checks decide whether the adhesive performs and whether the manufacturer stands behind it.
Lapiz Blue buys Mapei, Laticrete, Weber and Kerakoll tile adhesives and grouts directly from the manufacturer or its regional company, so every bag is genuine and batch traceable. The Mapei authorization certificate is published on the About page.
A tile adhesive is classified C1 or C2 for bond strength and S1 or S2 for deformability under movement, with epoxy reserved for chemicals or permanent water. Ask for the class, not only the brand name, especially for large format tiles, facades and heated floors.
Cementitious grout suits most interiors, but swimming pools, commercial kitchens and other chemically aggressive areas need an epoxy or resin grout such as Kerapoxy, weberepox easy, SpectraLock or Fugalite Bio.
Every quotation comes with the manufacturer's technical data sheet and safety data sheet for each product, plus submittal support for consultant approval where a project needs it.
Fast moving adhesives and grouts are held in Al Quoz, Mussafah and Al Sajaa. Orders placed before 3 pm are delivered the next working day across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and stock lines can be collected the same day.
Questions contractors ask
For large format porcelain and gauged panels, use an adhesive engineered for full coverage without voids. Laticrete LHT mortars such as 325 Premium are built for tiles up to 3 metres, Weber webercol flex (C2TES2) is the highly deformable adhesive for panels 60x120cm and larger, Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero is a no vertical slip adhesive with extended open time for large format tiles, and Kerakoll Biogel No Limits is a gel adhesive that bonds any material to any substrate for the most demanding jobs.
C1 is a standard cementitious adhesive such as Weber webercol fix 401, suitable for basic ceramic tile installations on walls and floors. C2 is an improved cementitious adhesive with stronger bond strength, such as Weber webercol pro, Mapei Kerabond T and Laticrete 254 Platinum, needed for porcelain tiles and larger formats where a C1 bond may fail under stress.
S1 and S2 describe how much an adhesive can flex under substrate movement. S1 adhesives such as Weber webercol premium (C2TES1), Mapei Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero and Laticrete 335 Pro Premium Flexible suit external work, heated floors and large format tiles. S2 adhesives such as Weber webercol flex (C2TES2) are the most deformable, specified for the largest panels and facade tiling where movement is greatest.
Yes, with the right product. Kerakoll Biogel gel adhesives are designed for renovation directly over existing dimensionally stable ceramic coverings, and Laticrete PRIME-N-BOND primer allows a new thin-set to bond to clean, sound existing tile. Both approaches remove the need to strip the old finish before retiling.
Pools need a system formulated for permanent submersion and chlorine, not a standard wet area product. Laticrete SpectraLock epoxy grout is formulated for swimming pools, fountains and spas, Weber weberepox easy resists pool chemicals and salt water, and Kerakoll Fugalite Bio is chlorine resistant and waterproof for pool and spa tiling.
Yes, with the correct class. Weber specifies S1 or S2 deformable adhesives such as webercol premium or webercol flex for heated floor installations, with a flexible grout used at the perimeters once the system has been commissioned and cycled before tiling.
Use epoxy grout where chemical resistance, permanent water exposure or strict hygiene matter, such as swimming pools, commercial kitchens and food processing areas. Mapei Kerapoxy, Weber weberepox easy and Laticrete SpectraLock Pro Premium are the epoxy options Lapiz Blue supplies, while cementitious grout remains the usual choice for most residential and general commercial interiors.
