Grout Estimate

Tile gap filler is also known as tile grout.
Density of grout used here: 1600 kg/m3.

The ration of dry pre-mixed grout to water is 1:1, which means that the dry pre-mixed grout volume is 50% of the total grout volume. For the best ratio results - the manufacturer's directions should be followed.
