CEMENT — a hydraulic binder created by firing a blend of limestone and clay in rotary kilns. The resulting clinker is then ground and combined with gypsum plaster. When water is added, it undergoes hydration, causing it to harden. Mortar made from cement is typically considered fully hardened after 28 days, although the process continues for several years, gradually increasing its strength and durability.

Cement serves as a vital component in tiling, providing the adhesive and binding properties necessary to secure tiles to various surfaces. Its ability to harden and withstand the test of time makes cement an essential material in construction, ensuring the stability and longevity of tiled installations in both residential and commercial settings.
