RESUMO

This study presents a bibliographical revision regarding the ceramic tile grouts. Here, the international nomenclature is explored and the types of grouts as well as its employments are enumerated. To base the reader on the ceramic tile cladding, its main concepts are shown succinctly. Being the grout an important component of the ceramic tile cladding, its functions in this subsystem are broached in details. The aspect of stress relief is widely mentioned, for this is an essential function of grout, particularly in the case of facades. In the end, the aspects of the preparation and the application of grouts are broached, particularly the cementitious products. The grouting of specific places such as meetings of sealants and interfaces with sanitary devices is detailed viewing the decrease of the occurrence of future problems. In the experimental study, panels in flagstone form tiled with ceramic plates are submitted to flexion until the occurrence of rupture of these panels, aiming to detect the influence of the joint thickness and of the type of the adhesive mortar in the rupture of the sample. The results indicate that the nesting joint thickness only assumes importance when the adhesive mortar presents high resistance of adherence.
