Surface Preparation:

Before grouting, ensure that:

1. Tile adhesive has fully set, as indicated on adhesive packaging or BAL Technical Data Sheet.
2. Open joints clear from excess adhesive and are protected from contamination – and are clean, dry and free from loose debris.
3. Be consistent with the amount of clean cold water used with the cement-based grout from mix to mix when grouting larger areas.
4. Lighting conditions during the installation of tile fixing and grouting should not be ‘appreciably different’ from the final (permanent) lighting. Where possible, check the grout colour with the final lighting conditions.
5. Check colour consistency when using the same grout when applied between different tile types i.e. porous bodied or porous stone tiles vs. porcelain or denser stone.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT use BAL Grout Flex Wall Tile Grout in temperatures below 5°C or in damp conditions.
If grouting porous tiles in temperatures above 25°C, dampen joints with clean water prior to grouting. If grouting externally, provide protection against inclement weather during grouting and for as long as possible afterwards. It is recommended that all external tiling applications include a DPM or a surface DPM can be applied prior to tiling (e.g. BAL DPM).

If grouting a shower installation, BAL Grout Flex Wall Tile Grout is water-resistant but NOT impervious to water and not a substitute for waterproof systems.
