Cementitious Tile Grouts

Preparation

 

  • Ensure that the adhesive has completely dried and hardened. Adhesive should be left for 24 hours  before applying the grout, unless rapid setting adhesive is used 
  • All tiles and joints must be clean and free from oil, grease or loose materials.
  • Remove the tile spacers and ensure that the grout joints are uniform and their widths do not exceed 6 mm to avoid slumping.

Mixing

  • To ensure proper mixing, a mechanically powered mixer or drill fitted with suitable paddle should be used.
  • Place the mixing water into a clean container, add the dry powder slowly to the water while mixing continuously with low speed mixer/drill (400 – 600 rpm).
  • Mixing time should be continued for 3 minutes until a uniform consistency and free of lumps mixture is obtained.
  • Allow a slake time for 5 minutes, and then remix for additional 1 minute without adding water

Application

  • Using appropriate spatula or rubber float, fill with pressure the joints completely with the tile grout
  • Immediately remove the excess grout by moving the spatula or the edge of the rubber float diagonally to the tiles.

Cleaning

 

  • When the grout starts to set (usually 20 - 30 minutes at normal conditions), use a damped sponge in a circular motion to remove the excess grout and level the joints.
  • After drying, clean the tiles surface using a dry cloth.
  • All tools should be cleaned immediately after use with fresh clean water. Hardened materials should be cleaned mechanically.
