SURFACE PREPARATION
- Before commencing grouting, ensure the tile adhesive has set firmly. This usually requires 24 hours with the majority of tile adhesives
- Remove any spacer lugs, rake-out any excess adhesive and any loose or foreign material from the grout joints
- In general, ensure the grout joints are clean and dry
Mix Process
- The mixing ratio is 20kg of powder to 5.5-6L of potable water.
- Add the water to a bucket, then slowly add the Davco Sanitized Superfine White Grout powder to the water. Stir the mix until a lump-free toothpaste consistency is achieved.
- Allow the mix to stand for 5 minutes, re-stir, then use the grout. Note: Where movement is expected, or for superior performance in general applications, use Davco 4 in 1 Grout Additive instead of water alone
Grouting
- Prior to grouting it is advisable to lightly dampen the grout joints, particularly with porous tiles or in hot conditions.
- Using a rubber float or squeegee, work the grout into the joints in a diagonal motion. Make sure the grout is worked into the joint (it should not bridge the joint).
- Using a diagonal motion remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles with a rubber float or squeegee.
- Clean up the remainder of the grout with a lightly dampened sponge. Regularly rinse the sponge out to help with cleaning and don’t make it too wet.
- Leave the grout to cure for 24 hours before cleaning the haze off with a dry cloth.
