Dark green or black spots along tile joints often indicate mould growth. This occurs when moisture and grime accumulate in damp areas, creating an ideal environment for fungi. Nippon Paint’s Bare-to-Finish Solution for Tile Joint Mould help restore affected joints while reducing the risk of future regrowth in your most beautiful home.
Clean the joint by removing dust and debris, and lightly dampen it before applying grout.
CMI® Tile Joint Filler
Apply a durable cement-based tile grout to seal the joints and protect against moisture, surface wear, and cracking.
CMI® Mortar Admix 380
Use a latex admixture in place of water when mixing grout to create stronger, flexible joints that better resist cracking and staining.
Wipe off any excess with a sponge and allow it to cure for 24 hours.
Leaves, pollen, dust, and soil can settle in grout lines and act as a nutrient source for mould growth. Areas that aren’t regularly swept or washed are particularly vulnerable.
Nippon Paint Bare-to-Finish Solutions recommend the compatible coating system, helping you to solve tile joint mould from the root cause. By emphasizing a bare-to-finish solution, each step from preparation to final protective coating works together to create durable, clean, and mould-resistant tile joints that maintain their performance and appearance over time.
