Installation Instructions

Rounded Edge Tile Grouting Instructions
Armstrong® Flooring Rounded Edge Tile can be grouted to achieve the look of conventional ceramic
tile flooring.
When grouted, the tiles are laid with a 1/16” to 1/4” space at the joints utilizing tile spacers designed for
this purpose. Grouting can be done immediately after the tiles are installed. Before beginning the
grouting process, remove spacers and thoroughly roll the tile to ensure they are firmly bonded to the
subfloor.
A premixed sanded acrylic grout with good flexural strength and adhesion is recommended. Traditional
cement grouts are not recommended for use with Armstrong Flooring Rounded Edge Tile.
Do NOT use Armstrong Flooring New Beginning or other floor strippers for cleaning the grout
or maintaining the Rounded Edge Tile installation when it is grouted, as they are too harsh and
will degrade acrylic grouts.
1. Follow the application instructions as specified on the premixed grout container, working small sections
of the floor at a time.
2. Do not allow the grout to dry hard on the face of the flooring before beginning the cleanup procedure.
3. If grout sponges alone are not sufficient to clean the face of the tile, a white 3M pad with light pressure
may be used. A clean damp flat cellulose sponge will aid in removing any grout haze remaining on the
tiles.
4. Traffic should be kept off the installation until the grout has completely dried, usually 24 hours.
5. After the recommended dry time, Armstrong Flooring Once ‘n Done No-Rinse Floor Cleaner and a white
3M pad can be used to remove any slight haze of grout residue that may be present. Armstrong Flooring
Once ‘n Done No-Rinse Floor Cleaner should also be used for continued routine maintenance.
