Choosing the right tile adhesive is crucial for durability. For standard ceramic or vitrified tiles on internal floors/walls, Roff T09 NSA or T04 Vitrofix (white) are excellent. For large-format tiles, external areas, or tile-on-tile applications, opt for Roff T07 Extrofix (grey) or T06 Vitrofix Ultra (white) due to their higher polymer modification.
