Grouting seams between decorative bricks. Grout for stone for outdoor and internal works

The grout for the stone is used for the processing of seams in wall coatings from all types of artificial and natural stoneas well as when laying paving tile. It helps to improve the appearance of the surfaces, protects the seams from the penetration of moisture, reduces the voltage appearing with sharp temperature differences.

Stamping for stone: Operating properties

Grouting for seams of stone has improved operational characteristics. It is resistant to the action of low temperatures and moisture, is distinguished by elasticity and high penetrating ability, due to which it is possible to handle deep seams. This material fills the entire cavity, not leaving voids that adversely affect the state of the stone. Such a grout Even after complete drying retains some elasticity, which protects the material from destruction at low temperatures.

Grout for stone has water and frost resistance, durability and stability. It does not lose colors under the action of sunlight and resistant to shrinkage.

If necessary, the material is tinted by adding a color hub or mixing multi-colored compositions with each other. Designers recommend choosing a grout for several tones, distinguished from the color of the stone. In this case, she unobtrusively emphasizes the natural beauty of the background, slightly standing out on it.

Types of races

The cement-based rapid material is considered the most common. More low price Stamps for a cement-based stone largely contributes to its popularity.

It is manufactured using fractionated minerals, Polymer additives and atmospheric resistant to dyes. This grout is recommended to be used at a temperature of +5 - +25 degrees.

When filling out wide seams, this material must be dissolved by a latex plasticizer, as a result of which the grout gets high elasticity and is easily squeezed out of the pistol. Such a means is highly resistant to temperature drops and ultraviolet radiation.

In addition to it, there is a grout made on the basis of epoxy resin, but its use for stone, justified only indoors. Most of her species are not vaporural, therefore it is not subject to use on buildings facades.

Characteristics:

Waterproof,

Elastic,

Simple and easy to use,

Prevents the appearance of lime spots and fading stone,

High adhesion to the side walls of the plates,

Improved formula due to polymer additives,

Prevents shrinking cracks.

Application:

For neat filling of seams between the plates natural stone, as well as concrete slabs of factory manufacture,

For surfaces intended for pedestrian, and light transport load,

Requirements for the foundation:

Before filling in seams, the plate from the natural stone must be securely recorded adhesive composition, such as. There should be cleaned from dust and residual solutions to the entire depth of stone. Before applying the suture solution, it is necessary to moisten, but there should be no water in the seams.

Technology manufacturing work:

The contents of the bag (25 kg) pour into pure container with 4 liters of water. Mix the electromechanical mixer until the low visual consistency is reached about 3 minutes. To withstand the time to ripen the mixture of 2-3 minutes and re-move within 1-2 minutes. The seams between the non-absorbent plates from the natural stone closed (granite, porphyr) should be filled with a rubber spatula under low pressure, providing a solid and complete fit. Do not allow the formation of emptiness in the seams, tfp molds should lay on the entire depth of the stone. Do not allow a long contact of the solution with the facial surfaces of the plates, otherwise, their cleaning will be difficult.

The seams between the absorbent plates from the natural stone with open pores (sandstone, limestone, etc.) should be filled with a syringe or a bunch, providing solid and deep filling. Depending on the type of plates used immediately after drying the surface of the seams (it is checked by the "thumb" test "after 1-2 hours), it is necessary to thoroughly clean the surface of the plates with a clean, wet sponge.

With dry weather, the filled seams may be subjected to a pedestrian load 24 hours after filling. It should be considered to slow down the drying of the seams at temperatures below + 15c. High pressure water jet cleaning of high pressure water is allowed not earlier than 3-4 weeks after filling the seams with TFP solution.

Recommendations for the use of grouts for the Natural Stone TFP

What stone to use the tfp grout?

The tfp Quick Mix stone is used when working with polygonal plates of natural stone, a paving any type (sandstone, lemzit, granite, serisite, limestone, slate), sawn and calibrated plates from natural stone, including non-flowered, also allowed to use this Grouts with artificial stone.

The composition of the TFP solution includes the Rhine TRASS. Thanks to the unique properties of this component, the change sensitive to the shade of a plate of natural stone will not lose their color.

Can I use TFP grout on vertical seams?

According to technical characteristicsThe manufacturer recommends using this product on vertical and horizontal seams.

What is the suture size between stones?

from 1 to 5 cm

Why can not rub the seams with tiled glue?

The adhesive composition is not intended to compensate for the internal voltage, as a result of which cracks are formed.

What is the flow rate for TFP stone?

Consumption depends on the width and depth of the seam. The practice of using this product shows average flow 5 kg per m2.

How to apply grout for stone?

The finished solution should be applied with a spatula or from a package, providing full and solid occurrence.

Waterproof tFP stone grout applied on the Russian market since 2011. Professionals highly appreciated the simplicity and universal properties of this product. Grout TFP. Guarantees reliable stonework protection with vertical and horizontal installation. Color gamma meets the requirements russian market and selected specifically for the most common types of stones in the Russian Federation. Yellow color - perfectly combined with Rostov sandbags, brown with leverage, also present traditional colors white, black, gray. Also launched into the production of a colored solution for laying and simultaneously designing seams.

How to choose scatching color for stone?

Beautifully and gently lay out the stone, providing protection against fading and destruction - it is still half. It is very important to pick up the right grout color. After all, all aesthetics depends on it. Whatever original, dear, beautiful is a stone, if the grout is inappropriate, it will not look for such a laying. Specialists of the company "Kvik-Mix" developed colors perfectly combined with Russian natural stone:

Brown - for the Ural Natural Stone Lemezit and the burned Rostov gerbal. This color is suitable not only for "wild" or "torn" natural stone, but also derived from it various verming tiles and paving stones.

Yellow color - combined with the Rostov gerbal and tiger stone.

White and black - for connoisseurs of contrast solution.

Gray - Universal Classic.

The material for the construction of a country house is often brick. It looks very elegant, while possesses and mass useful properties - For example, it retains warmth in the finished structure. And even finishing brick also brings considerable benefits, besides, it also performs aesthetic function. And to make the house more prettier, you can add the walls extra decorative elements. For example, putting seams brick masonry It looks spectacular, and it brings, as it turned out, considerable benefits.

Why is it needed?

The grout of the brickwork seams is the leveling of the seam bricks formed during the masonry process, their decorative design, possibly applying an additional layer of a solution of another color, which effectively emphasizes the correctness of the lines and the accuracy of the masonry itself. This is a peculiar way of finishing walls, thanks to which they will become more expressive and neat. Grout combines in a single whole seams horizontal and vertical, formed during brick masonry.

Brick masonry seams are needed not only to decorate the facade of the house. It makes a laying more resistant to weather conditions, increases its tightness, increases the life of the entire structure. That is, increases the density and strength of the laying seam and allows you to make the definition of its drawing.

On a note! Statting of the seams is not always able to improve the appearance of the masonry. If the work on the construction of the brick wall was carried out negligently and inactively, then the curvature of the seams and walls, the unacceptable pieces of surplus cement and other disadvantages will not fix the best and neatly applied mixture for the grout.

The main objectives of the use of grouting or batch boxes.

1. Improvement external view Facade of the house. The use of mixtures for grouting having various shades (and the color scheme is rich enough for them), it is able to emphasize the accuracy of the brickwork. Frequently use contrasting shades, for example, in combination with dark bricks, it looks good light color and vice versa.
2. The grout will protect against the moisture of the seams of the cement mortar, which will significantly improve the timing of its service, as well as at home and walls as a whole.
3. Indicators of the heat and sound insulation of walls laid out of the brick, thanks to the grout of the seams increase significantly.

Where can the extending be used? After all, it is not always possible to see at home with such a finish, which means that theoretically, can I do without it? Grout is necessary if the walls of the brick house will not be facing or plastering.

Tip! If the walls of the house will be drawn up with the help of seams, then during masonry it is necessary to use only whole and neat bricks without flaws. And the seams between individual bricks must be one thickness, although some masters make horizontal slightly thicker vertical - this is a kind of designer move. In general, according to the requirements of SNiP, the thickness of the suture layer of the brick laying should be as follows: vertical seams from 8 to 15 mm, horizontal - from 10 to 15 mm.

Shutdown seams is suitable for bricks of any kind - construction, facing. The main thing is that the bricks themselves are beautiful if work is planned to be grouting precisely with aesthetic purpose. It looks very good on the facade walls of the house, and inside indoors. Also an excellent option may be putting the seams of masonry from natural stone.

Methods of grout

Grouting of brickwork seams can be carried out in several ways. From this will depend on the effect, which will be given to the walls of the structure. We will get acquainted with the most popular of these ways.

Table. Methods of grouting seams.

What is used for grouting

What may be needed for grouting seams between bricks? Not much, as it might seem. First, you need a solution for grouting, the creation of which we will talk a little later. Secondly, you need and tools with which all work will be made.

For grouting seams will need:

• spatula (Kelma);
• "Turntable" for a perforator or a building mixer;
• the perforator itself directly to work with the "turntable";
• small sieve for sifting sand;
• capacity for mixing the solution;
• the extension of this size so that its width is equal to the width of the seam between the two bricks. If the vertical and horizontal seams have different widths, then you will need two types of this device.

Note that there are also the main tools that may be used. But in some cases they can not at all come in handy. For example, if you do not plan to make a curly gap, you can simply remove the fresh surplus of cement during masonry by Kelma.

Cooking mortar

The color of the grout solution is determined after the masonry is fully completed. But in general, the color gamut can be chosen even at the stage of selection of bricks. It is better to buy the most suitable materials suitable for each other in color, they must be harmonized among themselves, and not to cause a desire to immediately take a look from the wall at home. But often designers are experimenting with a combination of two bright contrasting colors, and such experiments are often very impressive and beautiful.

On a note! If the combat of the right color was not, then you can lift the seams and ordinary cement-sandy solution. In any case, it will look nice, as it has a grayish natural color that is harmonizing with all other shades.

To prepare the mixture itself, with which it will be put on the seams on the brickwork, the following components will be needed:

• high quality cement - 4 buckets;
• clean small sand - 2 buckets;
• dry finished mixture for the preparation of the grout solution;
• clean water is about 6 liters.

Note: The volumes of materials are indicated approximately, but will allow approximately calculated costs.

To prepare a solution, you need to carefully sift the sand with a small sieve, remove large fractions from it and possible trash. One part of the entire sifted material further needs to be mixed with two parts of dry cement, after which some water is added to this composition and everything is mixed to the state of a thick mixture of homogeneous consistency with a building mixer. Then the mixture is added for the grout, water, again everything is thoroughly mixed.

The finished mixture needs to be broken. After the solution will swell a little, absorbing the liquid, it is mixed again. All, the solution is ready for use.

Quick MIX Series VK 01 - Masonry solution with a track for facial brick

The process of grouting seams of brick masonry, maybe monotonous, but rather simple. To carry out it for any person, so the owner of the country site will be able to cope with this task independently.

On a note! Work on the grout of the seams is important only when the brickwork is fully completed. Otherwise, there is a risk to ruin all your works. At the same time, it is important to take into account the weather conditions during the work, humidity and quality of materials used for grouting - all this will significantly affect the quality of all work.

Step 1. Masonry seams mold must be made according to a clean and prepared surface, it is desirable even that the cement solution is already dried. First of all, the surface of the seams is cleaned with a brush from garbage.

Step 2. Then washed with seams of ordinary clean water From the hose. In addition, this procedure will make it so that the brick itself does not pull water from the cement mixture.

Step 3. Create a solution for grouting in all the rules.

Attention! If a ready-made mixture is used for grouting, then it is necessary to prepare it as written on the package. The above instruction is just an approximate landmark.

Step 4. The prepared mixture is placed on a large spatula, which is then attached close to the seam. Using a narrow bunch, the mixture is accurate, but quickly applied to horizontal seams, in the process slightly pressing the gap inwards to remove air from the cavity.

Step 5. Vertical seams are convenient to fill out, if you keep a little mix in the palm of your hand. By the way, the builders advise first to fill out vertical seams and only then go to horizontal.

Step 6. After filling in the seams of grouting, its residues are removed with a brush. Works are completed.

Attention! After applying the solution on the seam, it is important to immediately remove its surplus, if any. Otherwise, they sacrificed and spoil all the works. And you can form the shape of the seams when the solution slits a bit.

Stout seams of old masonry

Shutters can be made not only in fresh masonry. With this method, you can improve the appearance and old brick building. It is especially important if the solution in the gaps has already become collapsed, which deteriorates the thermal insulation of the entire structure.

If the seams are made on the old brickwork, it is necessary to first remove the part of the old solution (about 1-2 cm). This is done with the help of chisel and hammer. Also, wash the remaining of the old solution using a special apparatus acting on the masonry of a powerful stream of water (for example, mini-sink of high pressure).

The solution prepared as described above is applied in the usual way inside the gaps. It is important to monitor that during the work of the work the solution did not hit the vertical surface of the brick - there may be stains.

It is impossible to choose without understanding that this is an architectural element when it is necessary and what requirements for it are extended. Only with this data can be selected the optimal brick for the base, take into account all the parameters and operational characteristics.

And finally, several tips and secrets that will help improve the quality of the works.

Brickwork stamped seams - one of the most durable ways to design the appearance of the facade brick wall. It looks very impressive, and all work is easy to spend independently without resorting to the help of specialists. And this is undoubtedly a huge plus.

Registration of tracks, facades or foundation with natural stones, it is not only to give fashion, but also practical and reliable, because the stone will serve for many years without deformation and visible changes. But over time, even durable masonry can be collapsed from winds and bad weather, although there is nothing to happen to the stone, but he will leave his place, instead there will be a hole for it, if after it laying does not use modern thicker materials for outdoor work.

The stone will decorate a house, a walkway or foundation on the street, with a large temperature drop in the winter and summer, suffer from bad weather - rain or snow. Of course, whether it is an artificial or natural stone, it is actually durable materialBut so that he firmly remained in his place, did not change his position for many years, you need a all-season grout, it can be:

• Made based on Portland cement;
• From sandy cement mixtures and Portland cement.

The first version of the races are applied from the last century, the inventor is considered to be Joseph aspidine, who lived on the island of the same name, from where it has spread around the world.

The structure of the patch of the first type includes only mixtures of cement, in which different smallest fillers have been added for viscosity or frost resistance. All of them are very crazy, well fill all interfacing spaces and reliably cement it in a permanent place. In addition, the grasp of them is excellent.

Preparation is very simple - a certain amount of the mixture is stirred by water or a special adhesive composition of their liquid latex.

The finished composition rubs the stone gaps of about 5 mm wide, but it is possible to learn more about the use methodology from the accompanying documentation.

On video grout for a stone for outdoor work:

Another kind - Sandy, it resembles the usual pulmonary of the mass into inter-spot space and water watering for sealing. This grout usually handle tracks to home or other buildings from natural or artificial stone. The reliability of the grout is minimal, over time, from the water and winds of the seams are taken off, and it is necessary to carry out work again. But the cost is incomparably lower than the previous version.

You can meet a colored sandy grout, usually it is sold complete with dry polymer compositions, and if you use sand in combination with polymers, the reliability of the protection of seams on the street is rising, and the tracks or foundation look the most decorative and unusual.

But! Draw your attention to! It is possible to use polymer additives to sandy grouts for street work, houses from heat and moisture they can evaporate substances harmful to health. Pay attention to the composition of the mixtures, and do not buy with an artificial composition.

For internal work

Home Fireplace It is always comfort and comfort in the head of the country house, and if he is laid in a natural stone, then when cooled, warm air will still twist around the house, not stinging residential premises.

And some of the owners of country houses acquire an artificial special stone for the walls, and the original wall of stone, for example, in the dining area can not hit one guest.

For premises it is advisable to use grouts based on cement mixtures or silicone sealants.

The first option is suitable for filling the large size of the seams in natural stone, its dimensions can be non-standard - one more, and the other is much smaller. But you can add an additive that imitating natural color so that you can make invisible transitions to different stones in size. But with time cement base It may collapse, it has the properties of home dust, and its particles will fall into the lungs of a person, as you understand, this is not always a reasonable grout for a residential building.

But if you need to equip the surface of the indoor pool, or tracks located on the inner space, or sides, then the best option Rubbing based on epoxy resins. It reliably protect the space from moisture ingress, which may be the cause of mold and fungus. But at home for processing, for example, a fireplace, it is better not to use it.

On the video clip for stone for internal works:

What suitable

Qualified specialists argue that if the stone seams need to be sweep in residential premises, and it does not matter whether it will be natural or artificial samples, then it is better for them than fastening on the basis of silicone sealant not to find, the more the range of the commodity group is very large. You can choose heat-resistant, with color splashes, and even absolutely colorless, it all depends on your taste.

Save on the grout - do the composition yourself

Be that as it may, it will always be better, and even significantly saving it. Moreover, the composition you can make it solely for your needs.

So, to make a durable and durable composition for internal works, you can take a simple bag of cement, add sealant to it, and a bit of sandy mass, stir up to the formation of a homogeneous composition, and neatly rubber spatula process all the seams.

Surplus remove, make it all high quality and smoothly, and then for a long time you do not have to re-work.
