Here is another question asked by a member of the public relating to tile adhesives. We hope that it and the answer which we include below are useful.

In our two storey building with 6 flats, the staircase and corridor are uncovered concrete. We want to cover it (or paint it), using latex or ceramic tiles? What product could you advise? (about 13m2 each floor, including the stairs).

Here's our response:

You have a choice here depending on your own personal preference. If you want ceramic tiles, this is quite possible using Superflex Tile Adhesive. If you are happy with the existing finish but just want to colour the floor with a hard wearing surface then you can use Water Based Epoxy Coating. If you want to carpet then you may need to level the floor to prevent uneven wear in which case you can use Latex Levelling Compound. This would be slightly more difficult as you would need to put a strip of wood on each step to retain the levelling compound until it dried (possibly 24 hours).
