CERESIT CE 40 Aquastatic elastic waterproof grout in caramel color is a ready-to-use jointing material supplied in a 5 kg package. It is formulated for filling joints between ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles where flexibility and water resistance are required. The product is intended for interior and exterior use in areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens and balconies, and is suitable for joint widths as recommended by the manufacturer.
Advantages
The grout combines elasticity with waterproofing performance to reduce the risk of cracking and water ingress in tiled surfaces. Its ready-to-use consistency ensures even application and smooth finishing. The caramel shade provides a neutral, warm tone that complements many tile designs while resisting staining under normal use conditions.
Suitable for
- Filling joints between ceramic and porcelain floor and wall tiles
- Jointing natural stone tiles where flexible grout is required
- Wet areas such as bathrooms, shower enclosures and kitchens
- Balconies and other outdoor tiled surfaces subject to moisture
When it may not be suitable
This grout is designed for joints within the width range specified by the manufacturer; it may not be suitable for very wide joints that require cementitious or resin-based systems designed specifically for large movement. It is not intended as a structural adhesive or for applications where continuous submerged conditions occur unless product technical information explicitly permits such use.
Key specifications
- Form: ready-to-use paste
- Color: caramel
- Package weight: 5 kg
- Properties: elastic, waterproof
- Suitable substrates: ceramic, porcelain, natural stone
- Application areas: interior and exterior wet areas
How to use
Ensure tile joints and surrounding surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust, grease or release agents. Apply the grout with a rubber float or squeegee, pressing the material firmly into joints to achieve full contact with tile edges. Remove excess grout from tile surfaces with a damp sponge before the grout begins to form a skin, taking care not to wash out the joints. Allow the grout to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before exposing the surface to moisture or heavy traffic.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the recommended joint width and ensure the product matches your project requirements
- Confirm color compatibility with chosen tiles and consider ordering a small sample if exact shade matching is critical
- Check suitability for natural stone types, as some stones may require special grout or sealing
- Plan for appropriate curing time and avoid exposing newly grouted surfaces to water during curing
Usage recommendations
For best results, test the grout on a small, inconspicuous area to confirm color and adhesion. Use proper personal protective equipment during application and follow ventilation recommendations for enclosed spaces.
