Abstract
Certified, high-performance grouting of ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, low thickness slabs, marble and natural stone with
eco-friendly, naturally bacteriostatic and fungistatic mineral grout with high colour fastness, compliant with standard ISO
13007-3 – class CG2 WA, GreenBuilding Rating® 4, such as Fugabella® Color by Kerakoll Spa. Joints must be dry and free
from traces of adhesive and loose debris. Use a spreader or hard rubber float to apply the grout and suitable sponges and
clean water to clean joints on completion. Joints of ____ mm width and tiles ____ x ____ cm in size will give an average
coverage of approx. ____ kg/m2. Existing elastic expansion and fractionizing joints must be respected.
