FAQs
How long does FUGAPROOF take to dry?
The treated area needs to dry for at least 4 hours before it can be walked on.
Does FUGAPROOF change the appearance of the grout?
No, FUGAPROOF is designed to be invisible and does not alter the aesthetic appearance of the surfaces.
Can I use FUGAPROOF on wall tiles?
While designed for floor tile grout, it can potentially be used on wall tiles. However, always test in an inconspicuous area first and ensure proper ventilation during application.
Is FUGAPROOF safe to use indoors?
Yes, FUGAPROOF is an ecological, VOC-free product, making it safe for indoor use with adequate ventilation.
How often should I reapply FUGAPROOF?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and cleaning methods, but it is typically recommended every few years to maintain optimal protection.
What is the difference between a sealer and a waterproofer?
FUGAPROOF is a water-repellent sealant that protects against stains and water absorption. It is not a complete waterproofing membrane, but it significantly enhances the grout's resistance to liquid penetration and staining.
Can I apply FUGAPROOF to already stained grout?
It is best to clean the grout thoroughly and remove existing stains before applying FUGAPROOF for optimal protection. The product seals existing conditions but does not remove stains.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or streaking
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance and moved at a consistent speed. Wipe off excess product immediately after application.
Product residue left on tiles
Wipe away any excess FUGAPROOF from the tile surface with a clean cloth immediately after spraying the grout.
Grout still staining easily after application
Ensure the grout was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Reapply if necessary, ensuring even coverage and proper drying time.
Can not spraying properly
Shake the can vigorously. Check if the nozzle is blocked and clean if necessary following manufacturer instructions.
