How to spoil the tile with improper grout

For a long time, the most popular material for wall cladding in kitchens, bathrooms and toilets, as well as in other rooms, use ceramic tiles. During tile laying, grouting is mandatory. If suddenly the grout was done incorrectly, then it can even spoil the tile and then nothing can be done, it will either have to be reconciled, or buy a new one and shift everything. Both options are not particularly good. Let's try to figure out what to do in order to avoid such an unpleasant outcome.

Work on the grouting of tiles should take place qualitatively and on a professional level, because even with the most expensive tiles, the appearance can be easily ruined. During grouting, an important rule must be taken into account - before grouting, you need to thoroughly clean the tile from dust and dirt. If the tile does not have a glazed surface, then you need to moisten it before grouting.

Next, you should approach wisely the choice of grout itself. In the modern world, a huge assortment of various grouts is presented on the markets and in stores, most of which are made on the basis of cement. You can easily choose the one that is necessary in a particular case, so that later there will be no problems, and the tile will not be damaged by grouting incorrectly.

Before choosing a grout, you should take into account the operating conditions of the tiles that are laid. The tone should be selected according to the color of the tile and the width and length of the seams should be taken into account.

Grout is applied not immediately after laying the tiles, but only after a day. If this moment is not taken into account, then the glue on which the tile was fastened simply does not have time to dry and then unwanted spots may appear on the joint treated with grout. Seams must be clean.

During the mixing of the grout, it is very important to observe the proportions, you need to read the instructions that are printed on the package. It is best to use an electric drill with a special nozzle for mixing. Manually kneading the solution can be quite difficult, especially if the grout is water-repellent.

The solution will definitely have to be moistened so that the grout does not crack or smear. The right tool will also affect the quality of the grout.

It is best to grout, as well as the laying of tiles, to trust people who really understand this and are anxious about their business. Then you do not have to worry about the fact that the tile is damaged.
