01  GROUT

Epoxy grout

Colour chart with 75 Starlike® Pro shades for Litokol epoxy groutFor new projects, we recommend Starlike® Pro, the evolution of Starlike® EVO. EVO remains useful when an existing surface must be continued with exactly the same material. Starlike® Crystal is particularly suitable for translucent glass mosaics and can be enhanced with metallic finishes such as Shining Gold, Bronze or Rusty.

02  ELASTIC JOINT

Silicone & sealants

Pixel® 3D is available in 20 colours coordinated with Starlike® Pro. Pixel® 3D-N is a transparent natural-stone silicone; HydroPixel® completes the system for suitable pool applications.

03  SURFACE

Cleaning & care

For fresh and light epoxy residues, use Starlike® Care on floors and Starlike® Wall Care on walls. For cured or stubborn residues, move on to Starlike® Care Pro; for old, polymerised residues, Starlike® Remover should only be used after consultation. Litokol also offers solutions for anti-slip treatment, colour enhancement, impregnation and maintenance.

04  WATERPROOFING

Waterproofing

SafetyGel® protects showers, bathrooms, large swimming pools and moisture-exposed rooms wherever efficient, long-term moisture protection is required. HydroPad systems complement the Litokol range according to the overall build-up.

05  INSTALLATION

Tile adhesives & installation

The Litokol range extends from ready-to-use mosaic and tile adhesives to reactive epoxy adhesives for demanding substrates. Available options include UltraGel® Bianco (White), UltraGel® Grigio (Grey) and UltraGel® Pro Bianco (White). Pixel® Precision completes the system for precise edge bonding.

SYSTEM APPROACH

Litokol grouting and waterproofing systems for demanding projects

A durable, convincing tiled surface is created through several coordinated work stages. Depending on the project, these include substrate preparation, suitable waterproofing, the right tile adhesive, grout, elastic connections, professional cleaning and subsequent care.

Litokol covers these stages with different product systems. A shower has different requirements from a pool, and transparent glass mosaic may require a different adhesive and grout from porcelain stoneware or natural stone. The decisive factor is therefore not a single product, but the technical coordination of the complete build-up.

REACTIVE GROUT SYSTEMS

Epoxy grout for bathrooms, showers, pools and mosaics

Epoxy grout is based on a reactive binder system and therefore differs fundamentally from conventional cementitious grout. This technology can be particularly attractive for surfaces exposed to high moisture, sophisticated colour design or increased demands on stain resistance and maintenance.

Starlike® Pro epoxy grout is intended for many ceramic coverings, mosaics, natural stone, porcelain stoneware and applications in bathrooms, spas and pools. For transparent or backlit glass, Starlike® Crystal for glass mosaics offers a translucent alternative. This allows the epoxy grout to interact more strongly with the adjacent material as a design element.

01

Bathroom & shower

In wet areas, grout, elastic connections and waterproofing must be planned as separate functions. Litokol SafetyGel®, for example, is available for waterproofing. For suitable ceramic connection joints, Pixel® 3D silicone completes the system.

02

Pool & spa

Permanent water exposure requires careful selection of waterproofing, adhesive, grout and elastic connections. Starlike® Pro is designed for swimming-pool applications. HydroPixel® complements the range as an elastic hybrid sealant for suitable applications.

03

Mosaic & natural stone

With mosaics and natural stone, colour, light and the material effect are especially important alongside technical suitability. Starlike® Crystal was developed for sophisticated glass mosaic surfaces. Matching SICIS® glass mosaics are also available from Tiamont.

04

Cleaning & care

Cleaning is an integral part of installing reactive grout systems. Coordinated cleaners are available for remaining epoxy haze and residues. Starlike® Care is part of this cleaning system. Further products support subsequent care, impregnation and surface treatment.

EXPERT GUIDANCE

Frequently asked questions about Litokol grout, waterproofing and installation

What is epoxy grout?

Epoxy grout is a reactive, usually two-component grout based on epoxy resin. Systems such as Starlike® Pro are used for durable, water-resistant and stain-resistant joints. Suitability, joint width and substrate must comply with the relevant product data sheet.

What is the difference between Starlike® Pro and conventional grout?

Starlike® Pro cures reactively on an epoxy basis, whereas conventional grout is often cementitious. This affects water absorption, stain resistance, chemical resistance, application and cleaning. According to the product data, Starlike® Pro is designed for joints from 1 to 20 mm and for numerous applications in bathrooms, pools, mosaics, natural stone and porcelain stoneware.

Which grout is suitable for glass mosaic?

Starlike® Pro is suitable for many glass mosaics. For transparent, artistic or backlit glass mosaics, Starlike® Crystal is particularly attractive as a translucent epoxy grout. For visually demanding surfaces, a sample area is recommended before full-scale application.

Which grout is suitable for pools and showers?

According to the product data, Starlike® Pro is intended for wet areas and swimming pools. Starlike® Crystal can be used for suitable mosaic projects when a translucent joint effect is also desired. Waterproofing and tile adhesive are separate parts of the system and must be selected to suit the substrate and water exposure.

How do you remove epoxy residues after grouting?

For fresh and light epoxy residues, use Starlike® Care on floors and Starlike® Wall Care on walls. For cured or stubborn residues, use Starlike® Care Pro; for old, polymerised residues, Starlike® Remover should only be used after consulting customer service. Always test material compatibility before use.

Why are elastic silicone joints still required with epoxy grout?

Rigid tile joints cannot absorb movement at connections, transitions or structural movement joints. These areas must therefore be designed elastically in accordance with the plan. Pixel® 3D is available in 20 colours coordinated with Starlike® Pro. Pixel® 3D-N is a transparent natural-stone silicone; HydroPixel® complements the system as an elastic hybrid sealant for suitable applications.

Which waterproofing is suitable beneath tiles in wet areas?

SafetyGel® protects showers, bathrooms, large swimming pools and moisture-exposed rooms wherever efficient, long-term moisture protection is required. For further requirements, Litokol offers complementary systems with HydroPad, HydroPad Fast and HydroPad Indoor. The technical data sheet and the complete system build-up are decisive.

Which Litokol products are required for a complete installation system?

Depending on the project, a complete build-up can include substrate preparation, adhesion improvement, waterproofing, tile adhesive, grout, elastic sealant, cleaning and surface care. The components actually required depend on the covering, substrate, format, moisture and expected load.

How does outdoor temperature affect grouting a pool?

High temperatures and direct sunlight can shorten the grout's working time and accelerate curing. In warm weather, the surface should therefore be shaded or covered; working during the cooler early hours of the day is also advisable.
