It is not disputed that epoxy grout is superior to cement-based grout. There is ample evidence to show that cement-based grout can be porous and prone to moisture and weather damage. Cement-based grout is susceptible to cracking and peeling over time. It also has a limited lifespan if it is not sealed. Many professionals still use cement-based grout despite the fact that epoxy grout is notoriously difficult to work with. This is not true. This is because epoxy grout was hard to use in its early days and only had a 45 minute pot life. Since then epoxy grout has advanced a lot. Today, epoxy grouts are made with proprietary chemistry, which makes it easier to clean and easier to use.
Epoxy grout is not porous and does not require sealing. It is also extremely durable and can be used in all weather conditions. Epoxy grout can be used indoors or outdoors, as well as in bathrooms, showers, and swimming pools. This is something that is not possible with cement grout.
It is very easy to put in epoxy grout. In 5 easy steps, you can install epoxy grout.
1. Prepare the area in which you plan to install your mosaics or tiles. You will need to ensure that the surface is clean and you have enough space for your work. Epoxy grout should be installed at room temperature. The ideal temperature range for epoxy grout installations is between 60 and 85 degrees F. The epoxy grout will cure faster if it is kept cool. Make sure to thoroughly clean the area in which you are going to install the grout.
2. Arrange your tools. Keep everything close by. You can work uninterrupted when you have everything you need. You will need a grinder, trowel, electric drill, mixing paddle, bucket of water, scrubpad, dry sponge, and an electric drill.
3. Mix grout. Mix grout using Litokol Starlike epoxy grout. This epoxy grout is only available from the Tile Doctor. Mix the paste in the container (part A), the catalyst in the pouch (part B) together and pour all of it into Part A. Mix the paste and catalyst together until you get a uniform mixture. To blend them together, we recommend using an electric drill. Then mix with the trowel to make sure it is evenly mixed. Different grout brands have different instructions so make sure you read the instructions. Mix epoxy grout with a margin trowel. This will ensure that all components are well mixed. It should be soft and smooth. Epoxy grouting will be stiffer in cold environments. This is why it is important to maintain the right temperature and avoid installing epoxy grout in hot or cold weather.
4. Use the Tile Doctor’s Green Epoxy Hard Rubber Floor Float to apply grout to dry joints Use the rubber float to remove excess product.
5. Grout work should be completed while the product remains wet. This should be completed in the shortest amount of time. You should not remove grout from joints or leave stains. Start by spraying clean water on the grouted surface. Use the Tile Doctor’s scrub pad with lots of water and then the standard hydro sponge to clean the grout. You can remove any haze left after cleaning with the sponge with a cloth or use the Tile Doctor Haze Remover on a white scrubpad.
Starlike grout will make it easier to install an epoxy grout than cement grout. The grout installation will last longer and be more durable.
