Grout Colourant by KARL DAHM

Fugenfärber alle Farben
Revitalise old grout without costly replacements
: Karl Dahm’s grout colourant restores even heavily soiled or yellowed grout lines to a like-new look. Especially in high-traffic areas like bathrooms or kitchens, discoloured grout is an aesthetic issue that can be quickly, cleanly and permanently corrected.

Key benefits:

  • Water-based grout colour with excellent coverage

  • No need to tape tiles

  • Long-term protection against staining, oil, water and cleaning agents

  • Quick application, high surface coverage

Grout colouring instead of re-grouting saves time and money – ideal for refurbishments and renovations!


Tile Repair with the Fliesendoktor

Repair rather than replace: Minor damage to tiles, natural stone or ceramics doesn’t warrant a full replacement. The Fliesendoktor offers a professional method for repairing scratches, chips, drill holes or cracks.

 

 

Common challenges:

  • Repairing large format tiles without removal

  • Restoring the appearance of textured or gloss surfaces

The solution:

  • Step-by-step repair technique (cleaning, bonding, filling, light curing, polishing)

  • Various methods tailored to different materials (e.g. transparent, retouching, or crystal techniques)

  • Professional repair set with matched components for lasting results

Added value: Tiling professionals can join regular training seminars to master the Fliesendoktor system.


DryTiling Application Aid

DryTiling changes the game in tile installation: dry, quick, residue-free and adhesive-free. Especially suitable for rental properties or temporary installations, this system provides a modern alternative to traditional wet-lay methods.

Advantages of DryTiling:

  • Up to 50% time savings

  • No waiting for adhesive to dry

  • Immediately walkable

  • Reusable tiles without damaging the subfloor

  • Ideal for large formats (e.g. 120 x 120 cm)

Application:

  • Lay tile on a level subfloor

  • Insert foam cord

  • Grout and done

DryTiling is compatible with underfloor heating – with only minimal heat transfer delay.


What to Do in Case of Water Damage?

Quick action preserves your building fabric: Water damage from flooding, burst pipes or storms can have long-term consequences. It is essential to act fast and have the right tools at hand.

First response for water damage:

  • Buckets to remove dirty water

  • Water squeegees to gather residual water

  • Wet vacuums to extract standing moisture

  • Sponges for fine cleaning

Additionally, a moisture meter helps monitor the drying process. In cases of severe saturation, it is advisable to consult professional drying companies.

Buckets and Sludge Buckets

Robust, versatile and essential on every construction site: Buckets and sludge buckets support material mixing, transport, or emergency clean-up after water ingress.

What makes a professional bucket:

  • Stable handles or recessed grips

  • Various capacities for different tasks

  • Smooth interiors for easy emptying

Tip: Sludge buckets with drain holes help separate water from sediment effectively.
