EPOXY GROUT
Epoxy grout is a three-part grout that is made up of a resin, hardener
and filler. It is much stronger and more durable than traditional
cementitious grout, and it is also waterproof and stain-resistant. Epoxy
grout is a good choice for high-traffic areas, such as kitchens and
bathrooms, and for areas that are exposed to moisture, such as showers
and swimming pools.
Instructions:
Prepare the area.
Make sure the tiles are clean and dry, and that the grout joints are free
of debris. If necessary, use a grout remover to remove any old grout.
Mix the epoxy grout.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. The mixing ratio for
epoxy grout varies depending on the brand, so it is important to read
the directions carefully.
Apply the epoxy grout.
Use a grout float to apply the grout to the joints between the tiles. Be
sure to press the grout firmly into the joints to ensure that there are no
air pockets.
Remove excess grout.
Use a damp sponge to remove any excess grout from the surface of the
tiles. Be careful not to get any water into the grout joints.
Allow the grout to cure.
Epoxy grout typically takes 24-48 hours to cure completely. During this
time, avoid walking on the tiles or getting them wet.
Tips:
Work in small batches.
Epoxy grout has a shorter working time than traditional cementitious
grout, so it is important to work in small batches to avoid the grout
hardening before you have finished applying it.
Use a grout float with a rubber blade.
This will help to prevent the grout from scratching the tiles.
Clean the sponge frequently.
This will help to prevent the grout from building up on the sponge and
making it difficult to work with.
Be patient.
It is important to allow the epoxy grout to cure completely before
walking on the tiles or getting them wet.
