Description
Hassle-free pre-mixed grout.
Save yourself the time and mess of mixing grout yourself. Made from the highest quality acrylic, it's water-resistant and mould-resistant - perfect for glazed wall tiles.
The superior mould-resistant acticide integrated within the mixture actively repels water humidity to protect the grout in all conditions.
Fast and easy to use. Covering 15 metres squared and setting in 24 hours, you can have your bathroom or kitchen tiles finished in no time, even with no previous grouting experience.
Preparation
Ensure tiling surfaces are dry, clean and free from dust and grease. Prime very porous surfaces with a coat of acrylic primer. The primer coat should be completely dry before proceeding. Treat timber surfaces with water contact with a water resistant sealer before tiling. Always test a tile before use to ensure the tiles are not stained or scratched by the grout. Not suitable for satin, matte, metallic, detailed tiles or kitchen surfaces.
Application
With a notched spreader, apply the adhesive to cover an area of 0.5m-1m². Bed the tiles into the adhesive for complete contact between the tiles and adhesive. Insert plastic spacers between the tiles when bedding to form grout lines. It may be necessary to provide support for the tiles during the initial drying period. Remove any excess adhesive from the face of the tiles with a damp cloth. The working time of the grout and adhesive is 20 minutes.
Leave the tiles to set for 24 hours or 48 hours if tiling on non-porous surfaces. Spread the grout into the grout lines with a damp cloth, sponge or flat edged spreader until filled. Remove excess grout from the tile face immediately with a damp cloth. After 15 minutes, run the end of a round stick no thinner than the grout line along the grout lines. Leave the grout to dry for about 1 hour and then polish the tiles with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid wetting the tiles for 24 hours. All times refer to site conditions of 20°C or 68°F. Working times increase at lower temperatures and decrease at higher temperatures.
