Surface Preparation:
- Minimum joint width: 2 mm for walls and 3 mm for floors.
- Ensure adhesive has dried for at least 24 hours before grouting.
- Longer drying times may be needed on sealed or impervious surfaces.
- Clean tiles and joints thoroughly, removing grease and any contamination.
- For chemically resistant grout, use Mix & Fix Epoxy Grout.
Mixing Instructions:
- Mix 1 kg of BMC Tile Grout with 300 ml of clean water to form a thick, creamy paste.
- Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes.
- Remix thoroughly before use.
- Avoid adding too much water, as this can weaken the grout and cause surface discoloration.
Application Instructions:
- Apply the grout using a squeegee or rubber float, filling the joints completely to avoid voids.
- Remove excess grout immediately with the squeegee, moving diagonally across the tiles to avoid removing grout from the joints.
- Allow the grout to harden for approximately 2 hours.
- Clean off excess grout with a damp sponge, being careful not to leave moisture on the joints.
- Finish the joints by pointing along the joint lines.
- Let the grout cure for 24 hours before polishing with a clean, dry cloth.
Note: Some tiles, especially those with soft surfaces or matt textures, may scratch or stain during grouting. It is recommended to use a protective sealer, particularly for natural stones like limestone, marble, and terracotta, which should be sealed before grouting. Always test the grout on a spare tile before application.
