Before applying 703 I need to address the hollowing tiles on the bathroom floor. Is there any suitable grout to first fill those voids through the tile joints without having to remove the tiles?
first, you may try to scrap off the existing grouting lines. 2nd, redo the grouting lines with any brand's tile grout. 3rd. let it dry for 48 hours or more and apply sikagard 703 on top of the grouting lines.
The application of Sikagard 703 towards the bathroom tiles, is directly towards the grouting lines. I believe the best practice is to scrap off the existing grouting lines, apply sikagard 703 and finally redo the cement grouting lines for a long last solutions.
i have a balcony that has tiles which is outdoor and has lots of sunlight in the morning, can this be used for the grout/tiles? will it expand or contract with heat and break the tiles?
Can we do it as below? 1. Scrap off the old grout line, then redo the new grout line. 2. Then apply the sikagard on new grout line. 3. How long do we have to wait to apply multiple layers of sikagard ? Will this above method be lasting or do we have to apply the sikagard first before redoing the new grout line? Thanks in advance for yr response.
1. Take how long time to dry ? 2. If between tile gaps has many gaps whole and this sikagard will goes in the whole and won't fill up the gaps whole ! What to do next?
after a month or so water will sip anyway. i 've done this with pye product before. which the same if not better product. at the end mandi kat bawah juga. its hard to find permanent solution if we bought our house from idiot. this problem will not solve until someone bring this issue to parliament for law action to developer or contractor (specifically for bathroom leakage for 2 storey or apartment). which will not going to happen until cows come home.
Thanks for your sharing. There is another "prerequisite" that I do advise everyone to do prior using this type of waterproofing/hydrophobic solutions, which is to scrap off the existing cement grouting lines and regrout it again. This apply too to the floor trap/ drainage outlet. You need to remove it, fill up the gaps between the pipe and cement, and reinstall the trap back. All corners/ edges must be well taken care off, including 2-3feet height of wall tiles. One of my client did this, and so far it has been 1 year plus without any complaint.
For toilet/ bathrooms, contractors must be required to carry out water ponding test to ensure that the waterproofing job was done according to specs and procedures. Yes, totally agreed with some shoddy works and irresponsible contractors. The cost of fixing/ repairing is much much higher than do it right at the beginning.
@@kengseong Hi, t007 is cement modifier/ primer. Where as Sikagard 703 is hydrophobic treatment. For toilet, referring to Pentens, you may use T007 and T100 before finish with cement render. While for sika, you may use Sika Top Seal 107 Slurry waterproofing coating before cement render,.
Kok Gei I'm looking for granite and marble sealant for my toilets. Can you do a video on Otter Marble, Granite and Stone Impregnate Sealer (or any recommendation) ? Do I need to apply anything eles after applying Otter impregnate sealer? I love to give my granite and marble shine again too . I've already scrubbed clean all my toilets, just waiting to find the right seal and protect products :D ps...also maintenance for my granite kitchen counter top please. ASAP 🤣🤣🤣Thanks
It was not written on the Product Data Sheet (PDS), but similar to waterproofing solutions, I would advise a recoating between 2-3 years, but subject to weathering conditions. Please refer link below for pricing: www.ewarehouse.my/search?search=sikagard
Can you apply this and then apply it with Crysaline waterproof product such as CrystalBond-C3 or SS 10 SHOWER SEAL? Is it possible after you apply Sika 703 and then apply it with Qing Long 3 Transparent waterproof coating for double protection purpose?
Sir, if i were to apply it on the bathroom floor tiles, would it be slippery? Worried of a fall because a fall in the bathroom is almost all the time fatal.
Yes, you may apply this outdoor/exterior for example on exposed bricks or veneer stones. And usually, as based layer for moisture barrier from inside the wall.
Hi. What do you recommend to use for grouting which have waterproofing properties ? And i will finish off using sikagard 703. (My idea is, using double protection)
@@ATKCeWarehouse what about applying caulk on this grout sealer after grouting? What do you suggest for the gap at the corner joints where the wall meets the floor?
Overtime, I am sure that the cleaning solutions will scrub away the protective/ hydrophobic treatment on the tiles surface. However, this will not affect the "repaired" water seepage issue, since it has deep penetrate into the substrates (crack lines).
@@bajingfzalq6715 I have shown in the video applying Sikagard 703 on the tiles surface. First, it is quite difficult to brush on the grouting lines only. And, most often, it is a lot easier to apply on the entire surface so that we won't miss any spots. However, foot traffic/ detergent might scrub away the hydrophobic film. But usually, grouting lines/ crack lines are the one causing water seepage. You may refer to my replies above on this product.
In of physical, #703 is liquid based ready to use, #233 is high viscosity and need dilution before applying. Both share the similar usage. However, I can't confirm the chemical content.
For the balcony, are you referring to the floor tiles? Sikagard 703 focus on grout sealing by emphasizing on deep penetration into hair line cracks. While, 821 is a water based acrylic protective coating. There seems to be similarities in finishing, but the functionality may be different. Personally, I believe that you suggestion might work!

@@ATKCeWarehouse not sure. We’re not going to prep food directly on our countertops, but since we want to use a grout sealer in the kitchen to keep the grouts clean and mould free we want to make sure it’s suitable.

may not be effective
After I applied the Sikagard 703 , can I still wash the toilet tiles like usual by using any detergent ? If yes, how long will the Sikagard 703 last?

You may try applying the Sikagard first after scapping off the old grouting lines. Recoating about 1-2 hours.
1. Take how long time to dry ?
2. If between tile gaps has many gaps whole and this sikagard will goes in the whole and won't fill up the gaps whole ! What to do next?
1. recoating about 1-2 hours.
2. clean or clear off the cement tile grouting first, before applying sikagard, and finally redo again the tiling grout.
If apply to bathroom tiles, the tiles become slippery or not?

Hello. Can it be use on glazed porcelain tile on the grouting for living room?
Not recommended for glazed finish.
May I know if this product has strong smell?
nope.

I can't confirm the other products since I haven't try before. You may apply based on the brand's waterproofing system or solutions.
Hi, how many coats should we apply on the grout lines? If more coats, how long should we wait before applying the next coat?
Yes, you may apply multiple coats. After 2-4 hours.
after application, is there an increase or a reduction to friction coefficient on the surface of the tile?
depending on the types of tiles substrates, it does make the surface "rougher" for foot traffic. Does that mean an increase of friction coefficient?
Sir, if i were to apply it on the bathroom floor tiles, would it be slippery? Worried of a fall because a fall in the bathroom is almost all the time fatal.
It won't be slippery, and the key usage is actually on the grouting lines.

Yes, you may apply this outdoor/exterior for example on exposed bricks or veneer stones. And usually, as based layer for moisture barrier from inside the wall.
