Abstract
The performance of different types of fixatives is evaluated, with the aims of establishing the most suitable fixatives for internal wall tiling on calcium silicate brick walls. Test panels of wall tiles were fixed to rendered and unrendered calcium silicate brick walls with different fixatives. Strains in the tiles were measured with strain gauges. Those at the face of the tiles fixed with cement-based fixatives were found to be compressive, the intensity of compression increasing with time. The tiles fixed with the rubber-latex adhesive were subjected to increasing tensile strains.
