Myths and Misunderstandings: Testing the water resistance of grout

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

You
Yeah I just can see how one grout line is going to allow enough water through to penetrate the cardboard.

It'll end up evaporating out before its managed to soak through the grout. And what does soak through the grout will disperse amongst the adhesive and not really effect the cardboard.

I've been diddled.

Do one with mosaics.
your talking rubbish again dan lol
 
If

the results don't go in your favour I will do the same test with a mosaic base to it
Could do with one replicating an actual wet room shower. Albeit on a small scale. So mosaic floor with a more course floor grout. 20 or so joints. Then wall grout on the sides with mosaics.

It's what I was expecting to be fair. Thought you'd have done something akin to that from the off.

Fair play for doing it though pal. Most people wouldn't give such a toss.
 
Note I've voted 2 weeks to a month.

Can't see the water ever touching the cardboard with that setup.
 
ok water is in and timer is on


dan you will have to like it or lump it m8 when the water passes through the grout it will show on the box this is about how long the grout will resist the water it does not matter if there is one joint or one hundred joints

I'm ******** a brick now in case the world implodes and I'm not right in a thread on a forum about tiles.

Might need to nip back the pub to deal with this like a man.
