Tile Grout

Home – Grout (tiles)

Tile grout plays a vital role in both the appearance and long-term durability of tiled surfaces. High-quality formulations ensure strong, stable joints that resist staining, cracking and everyday wear.

Long-lasting durability for joints under traffic and environmental stress
Flexible composition to minimize cracking on moving substrates
Stain and water resistance for easier cleaning and maintenance
Fine finishes for narrow or wide joints, available in various colors

Residential and commercial wall and floor joints
Wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and pools (with water-resistant grades)
Large format tiles and natural stone where consistent joint performance is essential

The right grout helps maintain both the strength and appearance of tiled surfaces. By combining flexibility, durability and stain resistance, these products simplify maintenance and improve overall performance.

FAQ

Which cellulose ethers are typically used in tile grout formulations?

HPMC and HEMC are commonly used to improve water retention, workability, and adhesion, ensuring consistent joint filling and smooth finish.

How do cellulose ethers enhance grout flexibility?

CEs help maintain moisture during curing, reducing shrinkage and micro-cracking, which improves flexibility in joints subject to substrate movement.

Can cellulose ethers improve grout performance in wet areas?

Yes, they enhance water retention and adhesion, helping grouts resist water ingress and maintain joint integrity in bathrooms, kitchens, and pools.

How do cellulose ethers affect grout workability for narrow or wide joints?

They provide consistent paste viscosity, enabling easy application, smooth finishing, and reduced sagging in both narrow and wide joints.

Are CE-modified grouts suitable for large format tiles and natural stone?

Yes, cellulose ethers improve bond strength and flexibility, ensuring stable joints and uniform appearance across challenging tile formats.
