How to Grout with SPECTRALOCK®

Easy to Install, Easy to Clean-up! 

SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout* installs as easily as regular cement grout but provides the colour uniformity, stain protection and durability you can only get with an epoxy. The non-sag formula makes installation even easier and helps achieve full, flush grout joints. SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout can be used for interior or exterior applications on floors and walls.

SURFACE PREPARATION

• Ensure the tile surface has no residual film from adhesive setting material.
• The use of a topical sealer or grout release applied to unglazed porcelain tile, abrasive, non-slip or rough textured tiles or porous tile or stone surfaces before grouting will facilitate cleaning.
• SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout, as well as other sanded grouts, may “scratch” glass tiles, soft or polished marble and stone, soft glazed and handmade tiles.
• Test grout on a small area to ensure compatibility.
• Test stone for compatibility with water and cleaning additive mixture.
• Epoxy resins may affect the colour of white or light coloured porous stones (such as White Carrara, Thassos White, Royal Danby, etc.).
• Make sure tile adhesive and bedding are dry prior to grout application, and free from debris, grout spacers or standing water.
• Surface temperature range for installation must be above 4°C and less than 35°C.

WORKING TIME

Working time of grout is approximately 80 minutes at 21°C after the components are thoroughly mixed. Please note that working time is affected by many variables including grout mix consistency, surface and room temperatures. Warmer climates, for example, will shorten working time, while colder conditions will extend working time.
