ARDEX DG 1 One-Component Grout is designed for professional tile contractors and cannot be found in regular home improvement stores. Top performance and ease of use make ARDEX DG 1 One-Component Grout a preferred choice for high-quality, long-lasting tile installations.
Performance and Durability
ARDEX DG Grout is built for high performance. It is stain-resistant and water-repellent, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Its flexible formula can handle slight movements in the substrate, which helps prevent cracks and ensures long-lasting durability. Plus, it has low VOCs, which means it is better for your indoor air quality.
Application and Tile Compatibility
This ARDEX One-Component Grout works well with many tile types, including porcelain, ceramic, glass and natural stone. It is suitable for grout joints from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch (1.5 mm-12.7 mm), giving you flexibility for different tile sizes. However, ARDEX DG Grout should not be used with moisture-sensitive tiles, distressed or tumbled travertine tiles, pebble-stone and river-rock tiles or irregularly shaped tiles. It also should not be used in areas that need high chemical resistance, like commercial kitchens or pools.
Use and Maintenance
ARDEX DG Grout is easy to apply with a rubber float thanks to its smooth consistency. It sets quickly, allowing cleanup within 5 to 10 minutes after application, which helps avoid haze and ensures a clean finish. No sealing is required, making maintenance simple — just clean it regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner. While the grout resists stains, it is still important to wipe up spills quickly.
Technical and Safety Considerations
ARDEX DG 1 One-Component Grout has a Shore A hardness rating of ≥60, making it strong once cured. If stored in a cool, dry place unopened, it stays good for 12 months. Keep in mind that this product contains crystalline silica and titanium dioxide, which can irritate the skin or eyes. Always wear gloves and eye protection when using this product.
