  • Introduction to Grouting Materials

    [The following brief description outlines the various types of grouting materials for ceramic tiles. Grouts come in different forms, as well as colors, allowing the user to meet specific needs and enhance the finished look of the tile installation.]

    1. Versa-Tile Sanded Grout. A proven mixture of portland cement, sand, color-fast pigments and special additives providing a dense, mild acid and alkali resistant grouting material. Not limited to use on floors alone. Should be used wherever joint widths exceed 1/8".

    2. Dry-Set Unsanded Grout. A mixture of portland cement, fillers, color-fast pigments and special water retention additives. provides a smooth, dense joint. Not limited to use on walls alone. Should be used whenever joint widths are less then 1/8" and especially wherever dry, absorptive body tile (non-vitreous tile) is installed.

    3. Acrylic Grout Additive. Specially formulated acrylic-latex admixtures. Added to Versa-Tile or Dry-Set grouts in place of the mixing water, they enhance the strength, adhesion, and resistance properties of the cured grout. Known as "Latex Grout".

    4. Glue-N-Grout. A prepared, one-component grouting and bonding composition, ready-to-use directly from the container. Used on walls, where joints will not exceed 1/8" in width. It is based on "Acrylic Technology", making the product more flexible and stain resistant than Dry-Set Grout.

    5. Versa-Tile Floor Grout with Superapoxy II. An epoxy-modified, portland cement grouting composition for use where joints will exceed 1/8" in width. A three-component system consisting of equal proportions of resin and hardener, combined with cement grout. Provides "Epoxy" performance characteristics in an economical, water-based, easy-to-use package.
