What are the most common cement grout problems, and how can I avoid them?

0

The most common cement grout problems are shade variation, blotching, cracking, powdering, and efflorescence. Improper installation techniques and environmental conditions are the most common causes of these problems. Controlling the installation conditions and being consistent with product mixing, installation and cleaning go a long way in providing good, consistent results. While some of these problems may still occur, there are fairly simple ways to avoid or deal with them. The Cement Grout Troubleshooting Guide (TDS 201) can provide some suggestions and solutions to these common problems. The easiet way to avoid these cement grout problems is to use LATICRETE® SpectraLOCK® PRO Grout for residential and light commercial installations.
