Decreased Adhesion Due to Substrate Absorbency

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Hi everyone,

Recently I heard that do not install tile/stone over the layer of waterproof products (rubberized asphalt) because there's great chance of tile/stone falling off from wall.

In my country, the construction of house wall is "concrete --> 1:3 cement mortar --> tile/stone adhesive --> tile/stone". Some construction companies install rubberized asphalt over the outdoor wall( layer of 1:3 cement mortar) and then install tiles or stones. I think this is not necessary and dangerous, so I would like to convince them not to do this.

Is it true that decreased absorbency of substrate leads to loss adhesion of tile adhesive? If it is, are there any research paper that I could read and show those construction companies? Thank you.
