At Eco Friendly Tiles we know that you want your tiled floor to look good and last the test of time which is why we recommend ARDEX EG 18 Plus epoxy grout. ARDEX EG 18 Plus epoxy grout is a high-technology, next-generation grout that combines the chemical resistance of an epoxy grout with the enhanced application benefits of a cement-based grout. ARDEX EG 18 Plus comes in five popular colours. More colours are available on request – depending on minimum order quantities.
The process begins by mixing the resin and hardener together, slowly adding the filler until a smooth, homogenous grout is produced. Transfer some of the mixed mortar back into each of the resin and hardener pots to disperse any remaining materials left in these containers (back mixing). Once fully mixed, apply grout to the tiles with a hard rubber grout float – just as you would with a cement-based adhesive. The smooth pourable texture of ARDEX EG 18 Plus makes it easy to apply to joints, as opposed to traditional epoxies. It can also be cleaned off 15 to 60 minutes after application. Before cleaning off, apply a fine mist of water from a suitable bottle. Using a clean, damp, sponge or emulsifying pad, remove emulsified epoxy/water residue, cleaning diagonally to grout lines. Remove any remaining light haze from the surface the next day with a damp sponge or if necessary, with an emulsifying pad. Once grouted, Eco Friendly Tiles can be subjected to traffic after 7 days. This material is abrasion resistant and easy to clean and maintain, so it will keep its colour for a long time.
