Grout: methods of application

Feumen solutions are used to fill, grind the seams between ceramic tiles and natural stone. Their composition is based on bulk cement, so they can be used for both internal work and external. The color palette of the grout is quite wide – they can be white, color and even transparent.

Before using the solution, preliminary processing of the sutures is required. They are cleaned from the residues of the solution or glue so that the depth of each has the same value. The cleaning should be carried out immediately after the end of the cladding. The heet itself can only be carried out after the base is completely dry. The reasons for such conditions are obvious: softened cement or glue are easier to remove. And after hardening, they will no longer be able to mix with fugue.

The seams that are formed by sound -absorbing material, it is necessary to moisten before sealing. Connecting and deformation seams require preliminary sealing “sanitary-sinter”. The recipe for making the mixture has its own feature. At the beginning, by mixing a “sanitary-slill” with water, a pasty mass is obtained. It is necessary to control the lack of education in it lumps. After that, the mass is allowed to stand for no more than five minutes and repeat the mixing process.

In cases of sealing of coatings on cement-stoves, heated floors, balconies and other deformed bases for the preparation of the suspension, you should not use water, but special additives that give elasticity to the grout. Such as, for example, “Fugen-Elast”.

If the grout is used on porous and finely porous surfaces, then a change in pigmentation may occur. Therefore, it makes sense to make a trial seal of seams.

Putting the grout is a simple process, but requires certain skills. This is done with a rubber plate in the diagonal direction. The movement of the plate along the parties will not provide uniform filling of the seams. As soon as the solution hardens, it is smoothed with a damp sponge. Wetting seams improves their hardening, it can be carried out several times. After the grout dries on the coating, a dry film forms. It is easily removed with a damp cloth or sponge.

To work with ceramic tiles and natural stone and a width of the seam up to five millimeters, you can recommend the products “Keracolor”, “Bostic”, “Knauf”, “Vetonit” and others.

And in conclusion a few words according to the recipe.

It is necessary to work with a felt solution at a temperature of five to twenty -five degrees of heat, its viability time does not exceed two hours. Drying requires three to seven days. The consumption of the material depends on the width and depth of the seam, with its width of five millimeters, about one kilogram of the mixture will be required. Detailed information for each grout can be found in her instructions.
