What is the Difference Between Cement Grout and Epoxy Grout?
There are the following main differences between cement grout and epoxy grout:
Advantages
- Cheap price and low material cost.
- Simple construction and easy operation. Just mix the powder with water into a paste and fill the gap.
- Epoxy Grout is rich in color and has a variety of color options. It can be matched with tiles and other decoration materials of different styles.
- It has good waterproof and anti-fouling properties, which can effectively prevent stains from penetrating into the gaps, and can also resist moisture and reduce the mold in the gaps.
- The bonding strength of the Epoxy Grout is high, and it is relatively hard after curing, which can prevent the cracks from cracking to a certain extent.
Disadvantages
- Cement Grout:
- Poor waterproof and anti-fouling properties, easy to absorb moisture and stains, and easy to turn black and moldy over time.
- The texture is brittle, and it is easy to crack and fall off when subjected to thermal expansion and contraction or external force impact.
- Epoxy Grout:
- The price is relatively high, which will increase the decoration cost.
- The construction is relatively complex and requires high construction technology. If the construction is improper, such as not cleaning the gap or uneven glue application, it will affect the appearance and use effect.
Effect
- Cement Grout:
- The surface texture is relatively rough after filling the gap, and the beauty is limited. It mainly plays a simple role of filling the gap.
- Epoxy Grout:
- After filling with seam beautifier, the surface is smooth, flat and shiny, or it can be matte, and the decorative effect is very good. It can enhance the beauty of the entire space and make the gap look more neat and refined.
