Installation Instructions

STOP
Instructions are periodically
updated. Carefully read and
follow all instructions. Not
following instructions may
result in grout failure.
Read and understand technical and safety data sheets
completely before beginning installations. Always use
protective clothing (gloves and eye protection) when
working with grout. Follow applicable ANSI, TCNA and NTCA
installation standards.
SnapSys Urethane Grout is the only grout designed and
approved for use with the SnapSys Floating Tile Flooring
Systems; including SnapStone, Avaire, Zip-Tile and Eclipse.
SnapSys Urethane Grout is not approved for use in other
applications.
These instructions are specically for installing SnapSys
Urethane Grout over a SnapSys Floating Tile Flooring System.
Refer to www.snapsysinterloc.com for more
grouting installation instructions.
SnapSys Urethane Grout is measured by weight, not volume.
Extra space is left in the bucket to allow for stirring.
Protect from freezing. Do not use if previously frozen.
DO NOT grout if moisture is present on the sub oor beneath
the SnapSys Floating Tile Flooring System.
The sub oor must be dry before grouting.
Inspect grout before installation. Grout's urethane binder
should be liquid/wet in appearance.
PRIOR TO GROUTING INSTALLATION, APPLY TO A TEST AREA
TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH APPLICATION AND TO ENSURE
COLOR ACCURACY.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. Temperature during installation should be maintained above 60°F (16°C) and below 100°F (38°C).
2. Prepare two 5 gallon (18.93 liters) buckets of clean, fresh water for grout clean-up.
Add 1 teaspoon of dish soap to 1 pail of water.
The 2nd pail should contain fresh water only.
3. Ensure all tabs are fully engaged.
4. Ensure grout joints are clean and free from debris.
5. Ensure grout intersections are properly aligned, form a "+".
6. Inspect pail to conrm grout has not been frozen.
MIXING
A. DO NOT add water, colorants or any other materials to SnapSys Urethane Grout.
B. Upon opening container, a translucent, milky liquid may be present on the surface.
This is from normal settling during shipment. Urethane Grout's liquid urethane binder
should be wet in appearance. Do not install grout if the liquid urethane binder has any
other appearance other than liquid/wet form, i.e. skinned over, appears dry or has a
crystalline consistency (indicating previously frozen grout).
C. Mix grout in pail (aproximately 1 minute) by hand with a margin trowel, working in the
milky uid evenly throughout the mixture, and bring to a uniform consistency. A drill
mixer is not recommended as it will introduce excessive air, a reduction of color
uniformity, and/or other performance issues such as pinholes.
D. Continue to remix grout with margin trowel throughout the grouting process to ensure
proper resin dispersion.
INSTALLATION
1. Wipe the oor surface with a clean, lightly dampened sponge from the bucket containing dish soap.
2. Put a small amount of grout on the grout line area of the tile surface. Replace the lid on the grout
pail while grouting the oor to prevent grout from drying out. Grout small areas, less than 10 sq. ft. at a
time.
3. STEP 1: Spread grout over grout joints using a sharp-edged, rm grout oat. Firmly pack grout into
