weberjoint wide

Prepare

Ensure that the adhesive has set and dried and that the tiles are firm. Adhesive should normally be left for at least 24 hours before grouting, unless using a rapid set adhesive, when it should normally be left for 2 – 3 hours. Longer may be required on sealed and impervious surfaces.

Ensure the tiles and joints are clean, dry, and free from adhesive, grease or any other contamination.

If movement is expected, use weberjoint wide flex. If the grout is required to be completely impervious to water or chemically resistant, use weberepox easy.

Mix

We recommend that you use a low-speed mechanical mixer to mix weberjoint wide. The mix ratio is approximately 3 parts grout to 1 part water by volume.

Add the powder gradually to clean water and mix to a smooth stiff paste. Allow to stand for 5 minutes and re-mix thoroughly.

Do not re-wet or add too much water, as this will cause the set grout to be weak, with a tendency to crumble. It may also cause surface discolouration and variation, especially with darker colours.

Apply

Using a squeegee or a rubber float, apply the grout to a small area at a time. Completely fill the joints leaving no voids. Excess grout should be removed immediately using a rubber float held at 90° to the tiles. This should be moved diagonally across the tiles to prevent removal of grout within the joints.

When the grout has started to dry, after 5 - 10 minutes (less at temperatures above 20°C) the tiles should be cleaned with an emulsifying pad. This should be used in a circular motion to loosen the grout residue. The tiles should now be wiped with a clean damp sponge until all residue is removed. When dry, polish the tiles with a clean, dry cloth.

Ensure you immediately wash all tools and equipment in water after use.

Do not use at temperatures below 5°C.
