Application instructions
-
Once it has hardened, mortar must not be made workable again by adding either water or more wet mortar.
Do not use on areas directly exposed to sunlight or on heated surfaces.
Touch the material to determine whether it has hardened sufficiently and is ready for washing.
Keep the amount of water used for cleaning to a minimum.
Always use clean water for the final cleaning process.
Clean with a damp sponge, not a dry cloth. There is a risk of discolouration due to rubbing the dried grout into the joints while they are still wet.
Protect the material from drying too quickly.
Minor colour variations are possible. Where possible, only use grout with the same batch number for the same project.
On polished fine stoneware, colour pigments can settle into any micropores present in the surface of the tiles. A strong colour contrast between the tiles and joints is therefore not advised. Set up a trial area if necessary.
