Application steps

SURFACE PREPARATION

Depending on the type of adhesive used for tiling, grouting shall commence the next day after the adhesive has set but within 7 days upon completion of tiling.

When using SikaCeram®-277 Rapidbond setting adhesive, grouting may commence immediately after the adhesive has set.

Ensure that all tile joints are clean and free from dust and debris, removal means include air blowing or vacuum.

MIXING

Pour the liquid component into the clean mixing bucket. While stirring, gradually add the powder component, stirring continuously until a lump-free, toothpaste consistency is achieved. Allow the mixed material to stand for a few minutes, restir before use.

 

APPLICATION

  • Using a rubber float or squeegee to work the grout into the joints in a diagonal motion making sure that the grout is deep in the joints and does not sit on top the joints ie. the grout does not bridge the joint.
  • Remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles with the rubber float or squeegee using a diagonal motion to avoid dislodging the embedded grout.
  • It is advisable to grout only 2 to 4 m² at a time before commencing clean up, or preferably use a two-man team. This way, one grouts and the other cleans up, reducing the chance of the grout drying on the tiles.
  • Use a damp sponge to clean up the remainder of the grout. Regularly rinsing the sponge out to assist in cleaning. For best result, use warm water when cleaning.
  • In the cleaning process, do not flood the floor with water and ensure that the sponge is kept clean and the water is changed regularly.
  • After the grout has dried, the tiled surface shall be cleaned with damp cloth followed by a clean dry cloth to give it a final polish.
  • With anti-slip or textured tiles, it is advisable to pre-test the method of clean-off, before attempting to grout the entire tiled area.
  • Allow the grout to cure for 48 hours before exposing to the intended environment.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Tools and equipment must be cleaned up in water before the grout dries thoroughly.
