- Wide joint capability — designed for 3–15mm joints, ideal for floors and wider wall joints.
- Water repellent & dirt resistant — supports easier maintenance in kitchens, bathrooms, and wet rooms.
- Streak-free finish — formulated for uniform colour and a tidy, professional look.

Best Practice Notes

- Temperature affects set times — in cooler conditions allow extra time before trafficking.
- Where chemical spillages/corrosive liquids are expected, use a specialist epoxy grout system.
Installation Overview
Mix to a smooth, workable paste and apply firmly into joints using a grout float. Remove excess grout as you work, then clean the tile surface at the appropriate time to avoid dragging pigment or leaving haze.
Note: Always follow the on-pack instructions for water addition, mixing time, and cleaning stages to suit tile type and site conditions.
