Part of a new flooring or tiling project involves grout application, which can present a range of different problems. To assist you with your grout application, we have rounded up our top tips for seamless grout application:
Our 4 top tips for seamless grout application
- Prepare the surface properly
Preparing the surface properly is essential in creating a seamless finish. Levelling the flooring and deep cleaning the area to remove stains and grease to prevent any issues with the application of new flooring. The same process should be carried out on my surface which is having tiling applied.
- Utilise the right application equipment
Using the right equipment and tools throughout the application process will help to achieve a high-quality finished result. From scrapers and application guns through to profiling tools, using the right equipment is one of our number one grout application tips.
- Invest in grout and sealants
The quality of the grout and sealants you are using in your project can have a big impact on how seamless the application looks. We recommend investing in a high-quality grout and sealant to ensure the area looks seamless and provides a durable surface for high-traffic areas.
- Take care of the grout overtime
Once the grout and sealants have been applied, it is important to maintain this overtime. Undergoing regular cleaning and even utilising a product such as Mapei’s Fuga Fresca, which revies stained grout for a brand-new look, is advised.
