Grouting for wall cladding tiles

[Brinda]

Hello everybody ,

In order to avoid water seepage issues we were thinking of grouting our wall cladding tiles.

However when the grouting paste was applied ( various combinations were tried , cement like color , grayish, black ) it is actually ruining the look of the facade of the house.

Are there and Smart solutions to grout wall cladding tiles without ruining the look in order to prevent water seepage.

Please post picture of your wall cladding tiles.

In terms of cost Roff NCA adhesive in grey or white colour or White / ordinary cement mix works best. Mix a water proofing liquid like that
Ordinary cement + roff mix will turn white after acid wash

Mistries have used Roff + Ordinary cement mix for filling joints of stone cladding butchwork and exposed brick at my sute and after acid wash it looks good.

Anything like epory group will be super expensive.

Did you use 43Grade or 53Grade cement for Exposed Bricks?
I was advised by the brick supplier to use 43Grade given it contains less Limestone content.

Doesn't matter actually . Have used 53 and 43 both. after wash it will come out fine just immediately after drying apply Laticrete 190 coat to make them waterproof.

After acid wash got them washed with surf excel and water it came beautifully however painter ran away due to lockdown and sue to incessant rains again the bricks are getting dirty.
