Knowing the importance of excellent quality flooring, Mariwasa Siam Ceramics, Inc. recently released another product to complete its tiling solutions—the new Mariwasa Tile Grout, which provides an important function of bonding tiles and helps prevent the tiles from cracking and chipping due to the movement of the ground.
When applying tiles, one way to make sure that it is installed correctly and durably is by using tile grout as it secures the tile to its base and acts as a sealant to prevent moisture from penetrating joints.
Mariwasa’s new tile grout is easy to apply, has superior compressive strength, is non-fading, and is uniform in color to meet the company’s objective of providing only the best and high-quality products for Filipino consumers. It is made from a mixture of hydraulic binding agents, aggregates, as well as inorganic and organic additives, and is available in three colors: white, grey, and beige to suit every consumer’s preference and meet the requirement of the area of application.
For best results, homeowners must adhere to the instruction manual that comes with the new tile grout. Some common mistakes that occur when applying tile grout include mixing an excessive amount of water or polymer additive, and improper cleaning of the grout and grout haze on the tile. This can result in ineffective tile grout, a noticeable uneven color between the tiles. Some ways to avoid common mistakes are by using clean water and referring to the product’s manual. Avoiding over washing also helps as it increases the amount of water in grout and can also increase the risk of standing water being left in the grout line.
