CERESIT CE 40 Aquastatic elastic waterproof grout in Carmel is a ready-mixed tile joint compound supplied in a 2 kg package. It is formulated for filling joints between ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. The composition provides elasticity to accommodate small substrate movements and reduces the risk of cracking, while water-repellent properties make it suitable for wet zones. The Carmel shade offers a warm, neutral tone for floors and walls in residential and light-commercial interiors.
Advantages
The grout combines flexibility and waterproofing in a single product, allowing durable joints in areas exposed to moisture. Its smooth, easy-to-clean surface simplifies maintenance and helps resist staining in everyday use. The ready-to-use formulation reduces preparation time on site and ensures consistent color and texture across tiled surfaces.
Suitable for
- Joints between ceramic wall and floor tiles
- Porcelain and glazed tile installations
- Natural stone with limited water absorption (follow stone manufacturer guidance)
- Wet rooms such as bathrooms, showers and kitchens
- Balconies and other outdoor covered areas with limited movement
When it may not be suitable
This grout is intended for tile joints and is not a substitute for structural sealants or movement joints designed for large expansions. It may not be appropriate for highly flexible substrates or areas subject to significant thermal or structural movement. For heavily trafficked industrial floors or areas exposed to aggressive chemicals, select a grout or joint filler specified for those conditions.
Key specifications
- Color: Carmel (warm neutral shade)
- Format: ready-to-use pre-mixed grout
- Package size: 2 kg
- Elastic/waterproof performance suitable for wet areas
- Recommended for joints between ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles
How to use
Ensure tile joints are clean and dry before application. Open the container and stir if necessary to achieve a homogeneous consistency. Apply the grout using a rubber float or squeegee, pressing the material firmly into the joints and removing excess from the tile surface. After initial setting, clean remaining residue with a damp sponge and finish the surface once the grout has partially cured according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Allow adequate drying time before exposing the area to regular moisture or foot traffic.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the Carmel color matches your tile and design scheme.
- Confirm the 2 kg package size is sufficient for your joint width and total tiled area.
- Ensure the product is appropriate for the tile material and the level of substrate movement expected.
- For natural stone, check compatibility and perform a small trial to confirm appearance and adhesion.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use at recommended ambient and substrate temperatures, avoid applying on frozen or overly hot surfaces, and follow tile and stone manufacturer care instructions. Clean tools and spillage promptly while the material is still fresh.
