Grout Flex15: A polymer-modified, fast-setting, cementitious, wall and floor grout
Kelmore’s Grout Flex15 is a highly flexible, polymer-modified, fast-setting, cementitious grout for walls and floors. Able to be used with all tile types, and available in a comprehensive range of popular colours, all complemented with a matching silicone, it is suitable for use in joints up to 15mm wide and offers built-in mould resistance. This efflorescence-free grout has been formulated to facilitate the wash-off, enabling the grout to be left to firm up in the joints without concern of it being difficult to remove from the tile face, resulting in a functional, aesthetically pleasing full grout joint. Demonstrating its versatility, Grout Flex15 is suitable for interior and exterior use, in wet areas, including power showers, and in both domestic and commercial environments, as well as being compatible with underfloor heating systems.

Mixing:
Mix by volume approximately 3¼ parts powder to 1 part clean, cold water (a full 3kg bag of Grout Flex15 will require approximately 800ml to 850ml water). Pour the water into a clean bucket before gradually adding the powder. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, creamy, slump-free consistency is achieved. Allow the mixed grout to stand for 2 minutes then re-mix briefly before use. If mixing the grout using a mechanical paddle mixer, mix at low speeds so as not to entrain air in the product.
Application:
Apply the mixed grout to the wall or floor using a grout float or squeegee. Work the grout into the joints until they are filled ensuring any surplus grout is removed from the tile face as work proceeds. When the grout has started to stiffen* in the joints, residues can be removed using a damp sponge. Ensure the sponge is damp, not wet, and that it is frequently rinsed out in clean water. When the grout has sufficiently hardened, any remaining grout haze can be removed using a dry, clean cloth.
*@20˚C, the grout in ceramic tiles will start to stiffen after approximately 20 minutes and in porcelain tiles after approximately 45 minutes.
