CEMENT BASED GROUT FOR JOINTS IN CERAMIC TILES

Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECtite Tile Grout. Tiles must be firmly fixed in place and perfectly clean prior to the application of SpECtite Tile Grout. The gap between tiles should be approx. 2-8mm, but should not exceed 8mm.

Mixing
SpECtite Tile Grout is supplied as a one component blend of silica sands, portland cements and organic polymers.
Place around 8 litres of water in a mixing pail with capacity of around 25 litres and slowly add the SpECtite Tile Grout whilst mixing using a slow speed electric drill, fitted with a SpECbuild Mixing Paddle. Always add powder to water and mix for around 5 minutes to achieve a lump-free paste. Leave the material to stand for 10 – 15 minutes prior to application.

Application
Apply SpECtite Tile Gout using a small sponge or cloth, ensuring that the product is thoroughly worked into the joints and edges.

Be careful to remove surplus material with a dry cloth and profile the joint either by the use of a jointing tool or the tip a gloved finger.

Once the grout has dried, use a wet sponge to carry out the final tile cleaning.

It is essential to clean tiles, which have a surface profile, prior to the grout hardening.
