How to Use Trubuild Tile Filling Epoxy Grout?

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Remove dust, oil, sealers and loose particles from the grout joints using a wire brush or air blower. For exterior applications, wet the tiles before applying the grout to improve adhesion.

How is Trubuild Stylo Cem applied?

Trubuild Stylo Cem is mixed with clean water to a smooth, paste-like consistency. The grout is then spread diagonally across the tile joints using a rubber grout float, ensuring complete filling without any voids or gaps. The excess grout is removed from the tile surface with the float held at a 90° angle. The tiles are then cleaned with a damp sponge and polished with a dry cloth once the grout has set.

The mixing ratio of Trubuild Stylo Cem is approximately 3.5-4 parts of powder to 1 part of water by volume. Gradually add the powder to the water while mixing to obtain a lump-free, creamy consistency. Avoid adding excess water as it may reduce the strength and performance of the grout.
