• ARDAJOINT N is a fine grout for grouting joints (1 to 6mm width) between ceramic floor tiles and natural stones.
• Water-repellent formulation with "pearl effect" technology that limits water and dirt penetration into joints.
• Does not scratch floor tiles.
• Suitable for  interior/exterior floors and walls and private swimming pools.
• Fast and easy cleaning.
• Suitable for grouting joints between marble*, natural stone*, terracotta*, glass mosaics and vitrified tiles.
• Set to pedestrian traffic: 5 hours.

* preliminary test sshould be carried out to check possible surface staining.

• Fine and smooth aspect of grout.
• Safe and easy to apply: uniform and constant colour.
• Water-repellent formulation with "pearl effect" technology; improved stain resistance.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Ensure that the tiling adhesive has set and dried before grouting. Make sure the joints are dry and free from tiling adhesive or cement, in order to obtain good adhesion and uniform grout colour. If necessary, scrape and remove dust with vaccum cleaner.

APPLICATION

• Mixing ratio: 9.25l  ± 0.5l of clean water for 25kg (1.85l  ± 0.1l for 5Kg)
• Spread the grout with a suitable rubber-faced float (on walls) or squeegee (on floors). Work the grout into the joints and make sure they are fully filled with grout leaving no voids. It is recommended to work in a small area at a time for non-slip / structured tiles.
• Maximum joint width: 6mm
• Remove grout surplus carefully (without digging in) with a clean damp sponge. Regularly clean and rinse the sponge.
• When the grout starts to set, clean the tiles and finish grout smoothing with a sponge or a wet cloth. Pay attention not to damage joints during this procedure. Use a dry clean cloth to polish tiles.
