We believe there are more risks than rewards when grouting frames. After all, a properly anchored frame without grout can pass fire and hose stream, cycle, and even impact tests.

Grouting should never be specified for drywall construction. It is water-based, and when drying, the moisture only has a few places to go. The first is into the drywall, which weakens it and may hinder the frame’s integrity or ability to retain anchors. The other places the moisture could go are into the hardware or the bottom of the frame. And we all know what happens when metal is in a moist environment—rust.

Grout is usually not necessary for masonry construction either. However, when done properly, grout can improve durability of the frame and sound deadening. This may be desirable for specific openings, such as an external door assembly in masonry where forced entry may be an issue.

There is also a misconception that grout is required for fire rated frames, which is not true.

If you do decide to grout frames, it is essential that:

• It is only used in masonry openings, never drywall.
• It is hand troweled and not pumped. The excess water from pumpable slurry cases rust.
• It does not contain anti-freeze agents unless the frame is backcoated for corrosion protection.
• The frame is braced during grout application to prevent bowing and sagging.

Failure to adhere to any one of these may result in frames that are rusted or out of square.
