Product Information

Grout is a mortar/paste designed to fill in the cavities between the tiles to stop moisture and dirt getting between and behind the tiles. Grout also has the added benefit of adding a clean & smooth finished between your tiles. We recommend adding 5-10% extra to cover for spillages and wasted material. How Much Grout Do I Need? STEP 1: MEASURE THE TILED SPACE With un-sanded grout, you also have to consider sealing the grout to stop the absorption of moisture and staining as un-sanded grout is also very porous. EPOXY GROUT As a guide, a single 3kg bag will cover approximately 5m2 with a small tile measuring 7.5x15cm with a 2mm spacer. But this doesn’t always get into all the corners of the mixing container. Get a two inch filling knife or similar and drag the dry grout from the edges into the centre of the mix and mix with the whisk. Repeat until all the dry mix has been integrated into the grout mix. How long does it take for grout to dry?

Epoxy grout is not the easiest grout to apply and can be very messy, it is highly recommended to higher a professional tiler which experience using epoxy grouts. FURAN GROUTNow you know how big the area you want to tile is and the size of your tiles and spacers you can now calculate how much grout you need. Sanded grout is the most commonly used grout for ceramic, stone & porcelain tiles. Sanded grout is made from Portland cement, sand and other additives which are mixed with water and applied to the grout joint. It takes approximately 24 hours to dry and gets harder the longer you leave it as the cement sets. When using large format tiles like a 60x60cm tile with a 2mm spacer the same 3kg will cover 15m2 approximately.

Epoxy grout is a water-less two-part epoxy resin and hardener which are mixed just before grouting. When the mixture cures it creates a seamless stain & moisture resistant finish. Epoxy grout is also easily cleaned and is perfect for ceramic, porcelain, stone and glass tiles.

Un-sanded grout is also known as wall grout is the same basic mixture as sanded grout but without the sand. Un-sanded grout is used with ceramic, stone & porcelain tiles and will not scratch polished stone tiles when applied, unlike sanded grout.
