combined tiling method
Explanation:
Combined tiling method
Thin-bed method described in DIN 18157 Part 1 Number 7.3.3 combining buttering and floating with adhesive application to both the base and the back of the tile.
This method is used to prevent the formation of cavities when laying tiles. This is necessary, for example, with coverings that are subjected to high
mechanical loads and for coverings laid outdoors or in swimming pools.

Ceramic tiles should be fixed using a combined method (buttering-floating). After spreading the adhesive on the substrate to be covered, each
tile is covered on its rear with a thin layer of adhesive (approx. 1 mm).
