Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this grout be used for floor tiles?
This product is specifically designed for wall tiles and joints up to 3mm. It is not recommended for floor applications.
What is the coverage rate of this grout?
Coverage is approximately 2 square metres per 500g, but this can vary depending on the width and depth of the tile joints.
How long should I wait before exposing the grout to water?
The grouted areas should be protected from water and frost until the grout is completely dry, which typically takes at least 24 hours.
What is the maximum joint width this grout can be used for?
This grout is suitable for joints up to 3mm in width.
How do I clean my tools after using this grout?
All tools and mixing bowls should be cleaned with water immediately after use, before the grout has hardened.
Can I use this grout outdoors?
Yes, this grout is suitable for use both internally and externally on wall tiles.
What happens if I mix too much water?
Mixing too much water can result in a weak grout line that may shrink or crack. It's best to start with the recommended ratio and adjust carefully.
Troubleshooting
Grout is too dry or crumbly
Add a small amount of water and re-mix thoroughly. Ensure you use the recommended 2 parts powder to 1 part water ratio as a starting point.
Grout is too wet or soupy
Add a small amount of grout powder and mix again. Avoid adding too much water initially.
Grout is not hardening
Ensure the correct water-to-powder ratio was used and that the product has not expired. Protect the area from extreme temperatures and moisture during curing.
Excess grout is difficult to remove
Use a damp (not wet) sponge and wipe diagonally across the tiles. Clean the sponge frequently in clean water. For stubborn residue, a specialised grout haze remover might be needed after full curing.
Cracking or shrinkage in grout lines
This can occur if the joints are too deep or if the grout was mixed too wet. Ensure joints are filled consistently and use the appropriate mix consistency.
