How to breed grout and take into account all the little things ?

What you need to know?

Many believe that there is nothing difficult to choose the right color grout, dilute it and paint over the seams between the tiles.However, you must know the following:

• due to gloss over the composition, it is possible to smooth minor lining defects, provided well-performed work for grouting, or can be made even worse;
• given the right color composition is obtained harmonious design of the room;
• mixture should be diluted and applied strictly in accordance with the technology.

Trowel mix should be selected depending on the width of the joints and tile material.Dilution of the solution is necessary to observe a few rules:

• the time of application of the finished mixture is limited, so you need to measure out exactly the amount of material that you can use;
• breed composition should be strictly according to instructions on the package;
• mixture must be stirred thoroughly, give it to stand a few minutes and stir again.

If all the above conditions, you will get a perfectly lined wall surface in the room, which will please you for many years.

Types grouts

In today's construction market there are two types of grout mixtures based on cement and epoxy.Each species has its positive qualities and scope.

Important!The technology works with the epoxy mixture is much more difficult than with a cement composition.

Thus, the composition of the grouting for the tiles on the basis of cement - the dry mixture to be reconstituted with water or liquid latex.Also available for sale and ready solutions, but they are, as a rule, are much more expensive.Grout, cement-base is usually made from cement with the addition of impurities.All existing formulations can be divided into three classes: a mixture of latex, industrial dry cement hardener.

epoxy grout includes in its composition an epoxy resin and hardener, so joints are obtained impact-resistant and resistant to various chemicals.This type of building material is the most expensive among peers.Moreover, it is much more difficult to work with.Suitable thickness of such material is hot plate more than 12 mm, a width of 6 mm in the seams.

process execution putty joints

following activities are included in the process of the putty seams:

• trowel kneading the mixture;
• exposing the composition to improve its performance wetting;
• re-mixing of the solution;
• distribution of grout;
• clean up the surface of the excess.

putty to perform the work you need the following components:

• rubber gloves;
• respirator;
• goggles;
• grout;
• scraper or roller;
• bucket;
• clean cloth;
• sponge;
• plywood;
• jointing or toothbrush;
• sealant;
• small brush to paint.

Important!To the solution it was convenient to distribute on the surface, use a trowel grater.

mixture should be put on the slide surface of the tiles, and then spread over the entire surface of the lining.This grater hold at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the tile.As a result of the liquid solution will leave, will only particles of sand and cement, which will fill the seam.
