C1: ≥0.5 MPa adhesion, dry interior, <30×30cm tiles. C2: ≥1 MPa, deformable, mandatory for large format (60×60+), exterior, bathroom, heated floor. C2 costs 40-60% more.
Tile adhesive: 4-5 kg/m² (6mm trowel) to 8-10 kg/m² (10mm large format). For 100m²: 16-40 bags of 25kg. Grout: 0.3-0.8 kg/m². Add +10% margin.
Masonry: yes, 1 cement + 3 sand + 0.5 water (CPJ45+ cement). Tile: NO, ready-mix mandatory (polymer additives can't be site-dosed). Site-mix saves 30-40% on masonry but not for glued tile.
Criteria: freeze/thaw resistance (NF EN 998), controlled permeability, ≥1 MPa adhesion, water-repellent additives. Exterior tile: C2TE S1/S2 (deformable). Exterior sealing: hydraulic lime or waterproof polymer.
Standard: gentle walk 24h, grouting 48h, service 7-14 days. Rapid set: walk 3h, grout 6h, service 24-72h. Rapid sealing: set 15-30 min, full load 1-3h.
