Glossary of tiling terms

BINDER — a substance like gypsum plaster, cement, or other materials added to a mixture to bind particles together. In tiling, binders play a crucial role in the construction of durable and cohesive surfaces. By combining with aggregates such as sand or stone, binders create a strong matrix that adheres the particles together, providing stability and strength.

The choice of binder depends on the specific application, with gypsum plaster, cement, and other materials being commonly utilized in various tiling projects worldwide.
