Product Information

How do you test grout performance? BS EN 13888, a standard to test the performance of grouts, categorises cement-based grouts as CG and is a useful tool in the specification. CG2 denotes improved performance and CG2A indicates high abrasion resistance. For Wet Environments If after washing with water you can still see a slight film left on the surface of the tile, we recommend using Mapei Kerapoxy cleaner to remove any remaining grout residue the day after grouting.

Wipe the grout away with a clean, damp sponge. Don’t scrub it off as this just moves the particles around and can scratch the tile surface Although many grouts are suitable for use with ceramic tiles, other considerations need to be borne in mind with natural stone. Water used in the preparation of the grout may migrate into the stone through the edges, leaving a ‘picture frame’ effect visible on the surface. The use of a specially formulated rapid setting grout – like Mapei Ultracolor Plus - virtually eliminates the risk of this type of staining. For Industrial Environments You will begin to see the grout material begin to dry on the tile surface; this means that the tiles are ready to be washed down to reveal the dry glitter grout. Designed to add extra sparkle to even the plainest wall or floor tiles, glitter tile grout guarantees your tile space has a luxurious feel.When it comes to how to make glitter grout for tiles, you also need to think about how much glitter you add to the grout mixture. This is obviously a personal preference, but just keep in mind that a small bag of glitter grout additive can go a long way. We’d suggest adding a little bit at a time rather than bunging the whole bag in, as once it’s been added you can’t take it away. Tips for applying glitter grout
