With the aim to give new life to any tiled area, Parex Group’s new Davco Grout is a must for any homeowner.
“Any tiled terrace or bathroom area can become worn and used looking. But without wanting to go for a full renovation, homeowners often want to clean up some elements. This can include the old grout between tiles – refreshing it to look freshly tiled. Traditionally, when it came to replacing old grout in existing tile installations, this was completed by scraping out the old grout and replacing it with new. Whereas the new Davco Rejuvenation Grout can be directly applied over existing grout, providing a fresh, new, true-grout finish.” Vanda Correia – Parex Group Pty Ltd
Advantages:
- Pre-mixed; ready to use straight from the pail.
- Available in a choice of 6 colours selected to compliment tile colour trends.
- Applied in a similar manner to traditional grout; spread over the grout joints then simply wipe from the tile surface (not having to avoid the tile surface during application), making application easy and fast.
- A tough, wear resistant finish – Resilient to foot traffic and normal cleaning. This allows the product to be used in almost any tiled area;
- Internal and external,
- Wall and floor,
- Suitable for use in showers and other wet areas,
- Suitable for use in pools / spas.
- Special biocide formula resists the formation of mould and bacteria.
Limitations:
- Requires at least 1mm of depth between the face of the tile and the surface of the existing grout. If this depth is not available the top 1mm surface of the grout can be raked out prior to use of Davco Rejuvenation Grout, which is still easier than raking out the full depth of the grout joint.
- Very high binding strength makes the product unsuitable for very porous and some highly textured tiles as it can be difficult to remove from the surface of these tiles during the clean-up process – it is recommended to undertake a test in an inconspicuous area or on a spare tile first.
- Acidic cleaners should not be used on the product.
- When used in pools the pH must be maintained between 6 and 8.
The product will be widely available from leading tile shops and hardware retailers, including Bunnings Warehouse.
