Why Use Epoxy Grout for Kitchens and Bathrooms?

A kitchen or bathroom joint is repeatedly wet, cleaned and exposed to oils, soaps and food stains. A cementitious grout can work in many dry areas, but it is more porous and more likely to hold a stain or allow water into the joint.

CRIC Epoxy Grout is a three-component, high-strength, stain-proof epoxy for joints between ceramic, vitrified and stone tiles. The catalogue lists bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, fountains, hospitals and laboratories among its applications.

Epoxy cures into a dense joint. That density is why it is chosen where cleaning chemicals and colouring spills are expected. It is mixed from its components in the stated ratio and worked into the joint before it starts to stiffen. Leftover residue on the tile face should be removed in the working window given in the product data.

The catalogue shows a wide shade range, from Bright White and Ivory through greys, browns, greens and Quarry Red. Packs are 1 kg and 5 kg. Shade names should be confirmed against a physical sample where the joint colour is critical to the tile.

For narrow joints up to 3 mm in general floor and wall work, the catalogue also lists an unsanded Tile Grout in 1 kg packs. The choice follows the exposure of the area, not only the joint width.
