🚨 WHY ARE EXPANSION JOINTS A MUST-HAVE? 🚨

Think of a tiled floor like a giant sheet of glass—strong but rigid. Without room to move, stress builds up, leading to cracks, bulging, debonding, or even tenting. Not good! ❌

That’s where expansion joints come in. Also called movement joints or stress-relieving joints, they break up large tiled areas into sections, allowing each part to expand and contract independently.

Here’s the deal:
✅ All tiles expand + contract with temperature and moisture.
✅ Substrates move at different rates.
✅ The bigger the tiled area, the more stress builds up.

📏 General guideline:
• Heated floors → expansion joints every 15 ft.
• Unheated floors → every 25 ft.
(Example: a room that’s 10 ft wide but 20+ ft long will NEED an expansion joint!)

🔖 Bottom line → expansion joints = longevity + durability. Protect your investment and keep your tile looking flawless. ✨

💡 WHY IS GROUT SEALER SO IMPORTANT? 💡

If you’re working with cement-based grout, sealing is non-negotiable! Here’s why:
✨ A topical grout sealer prevents water intrusion, stains, and buildup of dirt and debris.
✨ Sealers come in many forms — silicones, acrylics, latex blends — and can be water-based or solvent-based.
✨ Some grouts have sealer additives mixed in, while others require a topical application after curing.

🔥 Pro tip: If you’re tiling with natural stone, always apply a penetrating sealer before grouting to avoid grout staining or getting trapped in the pores.

⏳ Keep in mind: topical sealers need to be re-applied every 1–2 years (even more often in swimming pools).

But here’s the game-changer 👇
✔️ Epoxy grout never needs sealing.
✔️ With Tile Doctor Grout Bomb, you can strengthen and seal cement-based grout in one step.
✔️ Or skip sealing forever with Litokol®’s high-performance epoxy grouts like Starlike® EVO, Starlike® Crystal EVO, and EpoxÉlite® EVO.

✨ Protect your tile investment the smart way. Choose the right grout and sealer from The Tile Doctor and enjoy flawless results that last.

💡 CAN YOU INSTALL NEW GROUT OVER OLD GROUT? 💡
The short answer: ❌ No… not without doing it right.
The better answer: ✅ YES — if you take the proper steps!

Here’s the deal: you can’t just smear new grout on top of old grout and expect magic. But if you…
1️⃣ Remove all rotted or crumbling grout.
2️⃣ Carve out enough depth for the new grout to grip — at least 2mm deep, side-to-side, debris-free.
3️⃣ Inspect for water damage, mold, or mildew if you hit the substrate.

When using Litokol® Starlike® EVO epoxy grout, you’re already ahead of the game — it’s incredibly easy to apply and built to last.
✨ For cement grout, removal can be tedious — a grout rake or vibrating power tool with carbide or diamond edges will do the trick.
✨ For epoxy grout, soften with a heat gun, then rake it out with ease.

Once prepped, the magic happens:
✔ Mix Starlike® EVO epoxy grout per the instructions.
✔ Apply with a green rubber epoxy float.
✔ Start cleanup immediately with just water + a white scrub pad.
✔ Wipe up with a yellow Sweepex sponge.
✔ Done. Walk away. No sealing. No stress.

Why choose Litokol® Starlike® EVO? Because it’s not just performance — it’s part of the ZHERORISK® platform, designed to protect installers, homeowners, and the environment 🌎.

💡 WOTD: RETICULATION — And Why Tile Pros Care About It!

Ever wonder why some scrub pads or sponges make grout cleanup a breeze, while others just… smear it around? The secret is reticulation — the porousness of the material.

✅ High reticulation = open pores that let water-borne materials flow in and out with ease. That means:
Faster grout cleanup 🧽
Easy removal of excess material
Cleaner, sharper grout lines so your Starlike® or Litokol® grout can truly shine ✨
Tools you can actually reuse without gumming up!

🚫 Low reticulation = clogged, messy, impossible-to-clean pads that waste time and money.

Our high-performance scrub pads and yellow Sweepex sponges are engineered for maximum reticulation, soaking up epoxy grout emulsions way better than ordinary orange sponges — especially when working with premium ZHERORISK® safe, eco-friendly epoxy grouts from Litokol®.

📸 See the difference for yourself: light shines right through a high-reticulation pad — proof of superior performance.

💪 Whether you’re a weekend DIYer or a pro tile installer, the right tools mean faster installs, cleaner results, and a finish you’ll be proud of.

🔥 Upgrade your grout game today — shop our pro-grade sponges and scrub pads at The Tile Doctor. Your tiles (and your hands) will thank you!

⏳💰 DOES SWITCHING TO EPOXY GROUT ACTUALLY SAVE TIME AND MONEY?

Spoiler alert: YES — and here’s why!

Most people compare grout prices by the bag and think epoxy grout costs more than cement grout. Technically true… but that’s not the full story. The real cost of a project is the total installed cost—including time, labor, and maintenance.

🛠 Cement grout means ongoing expenses:
💸 Resealing every 1–2 years
😩 Replacing stained or cracked grout
🧽 Extra cleaning and upkeep

💡 Epoxy grout, when installed properly, can last as long as your tile—virtually maintenance-free. No resealing, no staining, no crumbling. And when it comes to installation, time studies show epoxy grout beats cement grout in man-hours—and labor costs far outweigh product costs.

🚀 With Litokol® Starlike® EVO and EpoxyÉlite EVO, you can set tile and grout it in one step! That’s faster installs, lower labor costs, and beautiful, long-lasting results.

And forget the “epoxy is dangerous and hard to work with” myth. That was the past. Today’s ZHERORISK® grouts from Litokol® are safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and easier to install than even cement grout.

✅ Bottom line: Less time. Less hassle. More savings.
