Abstract
High chemical and mechanical resistance grouting of ceramic and vitrified tiles and glass mosaic using a certified, eco-
friendly, high-slide, easy-to-clean, vitrified grout that is bacteriostatic and fungistatic, water and stain proof with a high
level of chemical and mechanical resistance and GreenBuilding Rating 1, such as Fugalite by Kerakoll India. Joints must
be dry and free from traces of adhesive and loose debris. Use a trowel or hard rubber float to apply the grout and suitable
sponges and clean water to clean joints on completion. Joints of ____ mm width and tiles ____ x ____ cm in size will give
an average coverage of approx. ____ kg/m2. Existing elastic expansion and fractionizing joints must be respected.
