What is FugaTop 3-20?
FugaTop 3-20 is a high-performance cementitious grout for joints from 3 to 20 mm in ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, mosaics and natural stone. It is designed for smooth, compact grouting on floors and walls, both inside and outside.
The thixotropic mix is easy to apply with a rubber float and cleans off quickly. Once cured, the grout is water repellent, mould resistant and highly resistant to abrasion. For high-traffic floors, balconies, terraces and pools, the mixing water can be partly or fully replaced with BetonFIP Lattice to further increase final performance.
