Davco Grout Calculator — Australia & Asia Coverage Guide

Yes — Davco Australia publishes a Davco Grout Calculator alongside its Grout Colour Selector and System Selector at davcoaustralia.com.au/davco-solutions, and Sika's Thai site runs a consumption calculator for Davco Clean Grout. Those are the contract quantities for tendering. This page is the independent route for the Davco tile grout calculator searches: it shows the kg/m² arithmetic behind the printed tables, converts between the 5 kg Elite G10 bag, the 1 / 3.5 / 20 kg Davcogrout bags and the 1.5 L epoxy kit, and maps which product name you will actually find in each country.

The Elite G10 coverage guide prints, for 8 mm thick tiles: 200 × 200 mm at 3 mm joints = 0.5 kg/m², 300 × 300 mm = 0.4 kg/m², 300 × 600 mm = 0.3 kg/m² and 600 × 600 mm = 0.2 kg/m²; at 6 mm joints those same tiles run 1.1, 0.7, 0.5 and 0.4 kg/m². A 5 kg bag therefore covers roughly 10 m² of 300 × 300 flooring at 3 mm joints. For anything outside the table, compute joint volume in litres per m² and multiply by the 1.4 kg/L bulk density — then compare against the printed row, which already sits above raw geometry.

They share one data sheet but split by joint width. Davcogrout fine is the unsanded grout for joints to 3 mm — the sheet lists 1.20 kg/m² for 20 × 20 × 5 mm mosaic at 1.5 mm joints falling to 0.072 kg/m² for 600 × 600 × 12 mm at 1.5 mm. Davcogrout coarse is the sanded grout for 3–12 mm joints, where the same 20 × 20 mosaic at 3 mm jumps to 2.50 kg/m² and 12 mm hits 10.00 kg/m². Mixing ratio differs too: fine wants ~0.33 L water per 1 kg bag, coarse wants ~4 L per 20 kg bag.

One 3-part kit — 1.5 L resin + 1.5 L hardener + 7.5 kg of Part C powder — covers 30 m² of 300 × 300 × 10 mm tile at 3 mm joints, 18 m² at 5 mm and 9 m² at 10 mm, straight from the kit coverage table. Small formats drop fast: 50 × 50 × 6 mm mosaic yields only 8 m² per kit at 3 mm joints. Because the mixed epoxy has a working window, the sheet tells you to grout only 2–4 m² at a time before clean-up, so plan whole kits per room, not fractions.

Davco spent years in the market as ParexDavco under the ParexGroup umbrella; Sika acquired Parex in 2019, so today's bags read 'Davco, A SIKA BRAND' and current data sheets live on sika.com.au and the Sika country sites. For quantity maths nothing changed — the Elite G10 and Davcogrout coverage tables kept their printed values through the rebrand, and a 'Parex Davco grout calculator' search lands on exactly the same numbers this page reproduces.

The Chinese Davco (德高) line is engineered for its own market: the PD-19 colour tile grout ships in 25 kg bags covering 1–5 mm joints, and the PD-20 two-in-one paste for paper-faced mosaic is dosed at roughly 4–6 kg/m² for 45 × 45 mm tiles. Neither figure transfers to the Australian 5 kg Elite G10 bag or the South-East Asian 20 kg Davcogrout — same logo, different catalogue. Always match the calculator row to the country you are buying in.

It depends which sheet you are reading — and this is the trap most Davco grout calculator searches miss. The Davcogrout sheet states plainly that its consumptions 'do not include wastages', so you add your own 10% margin on top of 1.6 kg/L geometry. The Elite G10 table, by contrast, already sits 40–50% above raw joint geometry at its 1.4 kg/L density — the printed 0.5 kg/m² for 200 × 200 × 8 mm at 3 mm is 0.34 kg of pure geometry plus Davco's rounding. Adding another 10% to that printed number double-counts the safety factor.

Davco Clean Grout is the Thai-market CG2 WA polymer-modified grout in 1 kg bags (10 per box), rated for 1–6 mm joints in 25 colours. Its data sheet prints a density of just 0.80–1.0 kg/L — well below the 1.6 kg/L of a typical cement grout — and its consumption table reflects that: a 4-inch tile at 10 mm thickness needs 0.34 kg/m² at 1 mm joints and 1.02 kg/m² at 3 mm. If you feed generic cement densities into those joints you will overbuy by half; match the row to the bag you are holding.
