Important site Checks: Notes to the specifiers:
✔ It is recommended to check the colour of the grout, if it is meeting the desired colour of the client.
✔ It is recommended to do a small area with actual tile/stone at site and check for any colour ingress into the tile/stone. Many tiles / stones have high absorption which may lead to wet patches /discoloration / colour marks.
✔ Plan to provide proper movement joints, peripheral joints as per TCA, EJ 171 detail to
accommodate movements in tile/stone and use flexible grout / sealant to fill these movement
joints.
✔ When water is used for mixing with grout powder, non-absorbent tiles will have lesser demand of water to be mixed. It is estimated in the range of 3.30 Litres to 3.70 Litres for 10 Kg grout powder.
✔ For better color retention, flexibility and water resistance, use United 411 Grout admix completely replacing water.
Surface Preparation:
✔ Before starting to grout, remove debris in grout joints and lightly sponge the tile surface to remove dust and dirt. Do not clean tiles with acid cleaners. In case acid cleaners were used to clean the tiles, ensure to wash the area with plenty of water to effectively remove acidic particle remains from the joints before commencing grouting. Substrate temperature must between 60°F (16°C) and
90°F (32°C).
Mixing
United 411 ADMIX
Use approximately 3.75 liters of water with powder.Place water in a clean mixing container and add grout powder slowly. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth stiff consistency. Potable grade of Water should be used for mixing with grout powder for best results.
