While it's possible to use white cement for certain tile installations, it's not generally recommended for fixing bathroom wall tiles. White cement is primarily used for aesthetic purposes or when you specifically want a white-colored adhesive. However, it's not as strong or adhesive as specialized tile adhesives like thinset or cementitious tile adhesives, which are specifically designed for tile installations.
Thinset or cementitious tile adhesives have better bonding properties, flexibility, and waterproofing characteristics. They are specifically formulated to adhere tiles to various surfaces, including bathroom walls, and provide a reliable, long-lasting bond.
Using white cement alone may not provide adequate adhesion and durability, especially in a wet environment like a bathroom where the tiles are exposed to moisture, humidity, and potential water splashes. The risk of tiles coming loose or grout lines cracking is higher with unsuitable adhesives.
To ensure a proper and durable installation, it's best to use the recommended tile adhesive for your specific application. Consult with a professional or follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended adhesive type for your bathroom wall tile installation.
