Pointing Preparation | It is recommended to wait at least 7-14 days before pointing. It can help to dampen natural paving before grouting to help reduce the risk of picture framing. Prior to grouting the open grout joints clean, dry and free of residues. Porous or textured tiles/slabs may require sealing before grouting with a suitable impregnating sealer. If in doubt trial an inconspicuous area to check for staining and correct colour before commencing. |
Mixing | Prepare Fuga-Pave Flex CH in a clean container, first of all pouring in 3.37l of water (approximately 3⁄4 of the amount required). Gradually add Fuga-Pave Flex CH to the container, mixing the paste from the bottom upwards with a low-rev (≈ 400/min) helicoidal agitator. Add more of the remaining 1.13l of water until the desired consistency is obtained. The mixture must be of smooth consistency and without any lumps. For best results, and to mix larger quantities of the grout, a stirring device with vertical blades and slow rotation is recommended. Specific polymers with high-dispersion properties ensure that Fuga-Pave Flex CH is immediately ready for use. Mix a quantity to be used within 60 min. at +23 °C 50% R.H. The amount of water to be added, indicated on the packaging, is an approximate guide and will vary depending on the different colours. It is possible to obtain mixtures with consistency of variable thixotropy according to the application to be made. Adding extra water does not improve the workability and the cleanability of the grout and may cause shrinkage in the plastic phase of drying and result in less effective final performance. Prepare all mixtures required to complete the process using the same amount of water in order to avoid any variations in grout shade. |
Application Process | Fuga-Pave must be applied evenly on the tile covering with a spreader or hard rubber float. Grout material has to be completely filled between entire joint areas, the application has to be done diagonally with respect to the joints. |
Cleaning Tools | Wash all tools frequently to avoid material bonding to them |
Cleaning During Application | Begin cleaning the tiles when the grout is touch dry into the joint. On completion, clean up the surface using a thick, large-sized sponge damped in clean water to avoid removing grout from the joints. Make sure clean water is used at all times, using appropriate trays with grills and cleaning rollers for the sponge. Use circular movements to emulsify the film of hardened grout on the tiles. Finish cleaning up by dragging the sponge diagonally across the tiles while applying water evenly over the tiles in order to prevent any shade variations. Residual traces of grout can be removed from tools with water before the product has hardened. |
