Grout
Grout is a high-density construction material that flows as a liquid and solidifies after application. Cementitious grout is used to fill gaps and cavities in engineering structures, repair cracks, and enhance cohesion.
Uses of Tile Grout:
- Filling Gaps and Joints: Used to fill spaces between tiles or stones.
- Foundation Reinforcement: Weber grout is utilized for injecting foundations to improve soil strength.
- Leveling: Fine grout is used to achieve smooth and even surfaces.
Types of Grout:
- Cementitious Grout: The most common type, primarily composed of cement, water, and additives.
- Polyester Grout: Ideal for applications requiring high resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
- Epoxy Grout: Known for its high strength and chemical resistance, suitable for industrial applications.
- Non-shrink grout is a specialized grout designed to maintain its volume after curing, preventing
shrinkage or expansion.
Grout is a fundamental building material with critical applications in engineering. By selecting the right type and applying it correctly, exceptional results can be achieved in terms of strength, durability, and aesthetics.
