SikaCeram LargeGrout - Grouting - Sika

SikaCeram LargeGrout is a flexible, high performance cementitious grouting mortar that inhibits the growth of mold and is intended for use on floors and walls in joints 4-20mm wide, for demanding applications such as swimming pools and high traffic industrial floors .

It comes in powder form and the additives in the powder provide protection and prevention against the growth of mold, bacteria and fungi while maintaining a stable color, water repellent and durable finish.
For indoor and outdoor use.

Features

• Water repellent
• Abrasion resistance
• High degree of hardness
• Resistant to UV exposure
• Frost resistant
• Contains mold protection
• Stable color
• Good durability

Application areas

Grouting the following types of tiles:

• All types of ceramic tiles
• Marble and natural stones
• Stoneware

Grouting tiles for the following demanding and high performance applications:

• balconies
• Bathrooms
• Commercial/industrial/residential environments
• facades
• Heated floors (integrated water and electrical systems)
• Kitchens
• Shopping centers
• Showers
• Storage spaces
• swimming pools
• Terraces
• Wet rooms

Application

1. Before you start grouting, check that the tile adhesive has completely hardened.
2. SikaCeram LargeGrout is applied using a suitable tool such as a mortar spreader, rubber squeegee or mortar trowel/trowel.
3. Make sure to fill and compact the joints evenly.
   If necessary, finish grouting with a finishing tool while the mortar is still wet.
4. Then, using the same mortar/trowel spreader, remove excess mix from the top of the tiles by moving the tool diagonally across the joints.
5. When the grouting mortar is dry to the touch, it is possible to start cleaning the surface of the tiles with a slightly damp sponge.
6. Clean the sponge regularly with clear water.
7. When the mortar has sufficiently hardened in the joint (test with a fingernail), polish the tiled surfaces by wiping them with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
   If the water has been replaced by SikaCeram LatexGrout, this must be done immediately after cleaning with a sponge.

Consumption

The consumption depends on the size of the tiles and the width and depth of the joint.
These figures are theoretical and do not take into account any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, level variations or losses etc.
As an indication, the consumption is indicated in the following table and expressed in g/m².

Consumption can also be calculated using the following formula:
S × [ (a+b+l)/(a+l)(b+l) ] × w × h × d × 8300

S = Total area (m2) | a, b = Tile dimensions (cm) | l = Joint width (cm) | h = Tile thickness (cm) | d = Density of fresh mortar (kg/l)
