What you mean by Grout and its applications

Posted by MAPEI on September 28th, 2022

Sealing substance installation grouting. Grouting is the technique of filling in gaps with material using a mixture of chemicals, water, sand, or cement. Mainly, grouting is done to strengthen the foundation and load-bearing structure. Additionally, it is utilised for soil stabilization, filling tile gaps, sealing joints, and mending concrete fissures. By applying pressure to specially prepared cement, grouting creates suspended fractures and voids that the cement mixture is sprayed into at a high flow rate.
