Epoxy Grout for tiles is a grout mixture made of
epoxy resins and hardeners that make epoxy grout
strong and durable. Tillers have preferred to use
epoxy grout in industrial structures for a long
time. Nowadays people have been preferring the
application of this grout in their homes for
stronger structures in the kitchen, bathroom,
living rooms, and even hallways. In homes,
usually the living room and hallway experience
the most traffic over the course of the day in
comparison to the bedroom. The outdoor
high-traffic areas include malls, hospitals, and
restaurants. Epoxy grout for tiles is known for
its strength and durability and even heavy
machinery cant crumble or crack this grout.

Epoxy grout's special characteristics are due to
its non-porous aspect. Non-porous means that the
air and other contents such as liquids are unable
to pass through the grout. As the grout repels
other substances, it also becomes resistant to
stain. Epoxy grout solidifies very quickly in
comparison to cement grout, also you don't need
to worry about sealing the surfaces. Just careful
application of the grout and its regular cleaning
of it will work great for years to come.
Another great thing about epoxy grout for tiles
is that it does not get discolored. There is
nothing worse and more frustrating than having a
structures color change from one week to
another. When shampoo or soap lather drops and
stains your cement grout, its components can
cause discoloration. If you have filled your
joints with Epoxy grout for tiles then there is
no reason for you to worry.

Epoxy grout is a magical grout as its various
advantages go but it is quite a challenge when it
comes to its application of this popular grout.
It solidifies very quickly after you activate it.
So, to work efficiently with epoxy grout you have
two main options. One, you can activate a chunk
of this grout, divide it into portions and
refrigerate the part youre not using at the
moment. The second option is that you can only
enable the quantity you need for the section you
are working on. You will have to keep in mind
its ability to solidify fast, so if you choose to
enable the grout in bits, you have to be very
quick in applying it. As is the case with all
grout applications, youll need to clean up
excess grout swiftly after application before it
will solidify on top of the tiles. In order to do
this with speed, it is advisable to work with a
partner and take their help to clean up behind
you

• Grout powder
• Mixing stick
• Grout spreader/trowel
• Grout sealer
• Cloth/microfiber towel

It is always recommended to clean the tile joint
properly before you start. Remove dust, debris,
or adhesive if any from the tiles. While
grouting, your aim is to make it as smooth and
neat as possible for a clean look. We recommend
that you follow the undermentioned steps-

Preparing the Epoxy Grout
Pick the color you need and mix your grout.
After youve chosen the grout color to match your
space, pour some water into a bucket before
adding the powdered grout. Mix the grout powder
properly with a wooden stick, slowly adding more
powder while stirring. Continue stirring until
you have a consistency resembling whipped ice
cream. If you want to save some time, you can buy
pre-mixed grout from the market, though it will
cost you more than purchasing the powder
alone. Expert Tip Do not add too much water. Be
careful with the quantity of water you use, to
get better grout consistency and strength.

Application of the grout to the tiles 
Now apply the grout to your tiles using a grout
spreader or a trowel. We recommended working the
grout into the gaps between the tiles at a
45-degree angle and making sweeping arcs. Then,
neatly work the grout completely into all the
joints between the tiles, applying more grout
wherever necessary. You should try to apply the
grout in small portions to avoid it drying out
quickly before you finish grouting
properly. Expert Tip Before starting to grout
your tiles, it is advisable to do a practice run
on a small area first to see how it will look and
get a feel of it.

Cleaning of tiles 
When you have finished applying the grout, let
the grout dry for around 10 minutes or the
specified time mentioned on the package before
cleaning the tiles. Then, use a damp sponge to
wipe any excess grout off the surface of the
tiles. For better results, wipe in a circular
motion to clean the tiles properly. You can also
use a clean cloth or towel to clean the
tiles.  Expert Tip Always read and refer to the
instructions on the package for recommended
drying time of the grout. Depending on various
brands the grout may require more or less time. 
10
Sealing the grout 
For bathrooms or kitchens, you will have to seal
the joints with a grout sealer to make your tiles
waterproof. Seal the joints properly with two
applications for extra strength and durability.
Then wipe away any drips from the tile with a
clean towel or cloth.  Expert Tip Always read
the instructions thoroughly and carefully on the
grout sealer before applying.

Leaving it to dry
Leave the grout to dry completely before starting
to polish the tiles to make them shine. Since
youve taken pains to apply fresh grout, you
