Mapei Ultracolor Plus Coloured Grout Dust 135

Product Information

After the final cleaning operation, if the surface still has traces of Mapei Ultracolor Plus due to incorrect application, it may be cleaned down with an acidic cleaner (e.g. Keranet), by following the relevant instructions, at least 24 hours after grouting the joints. Only use Keranet on surfaces which are resistant to acid, and never use it on marble or limestone material.

In industrial environments or areas where hygiene is important, an epoxy resin grout will be required to offer the necessary chemical resistance. For example, Mapei Kerapoxy IEG (which is compliant with EC regulation 852/2004 relating to hygiene and foodstuffs) is resistant to animal fats, oils and grease, so it’s an ideal grouting choice for meat processing plants and commercial kitchens. Mapei epoxy grouts also emit extremely low levels of VOC, being classified EC1PLUS under the GEV EMICODE. For Decorative PurposesMapei Fuga Fresca: to keep your tile grout refreshed and its colour intact, look no further than Mapei’s Fuga Fresca resin-based grout paint suitable for grout on walls or floors. Minimise water absorption and make tile and grout cleaning a breeze, with colour options including white, grey and silver 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 When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout.

Sponge down the area: using clean water and a damp (not wet) sponge or sponge float, wipe down the tiles and grout lines to remove the remaining grout, ensuring the grout lines have a smooth, even finish. This means, when choosing the best grout for your tiling project, you’ll need to consider the specific needs of the job. For example, interior decoration projects where you’re concerned with aesthetics alone will likely lead you to choose a different option than that of practical outdoor tile installations. If you are installing one of our hard-wearing outdoor tiles, you'll need a grout that’s fully equipped to handle exposure to increased moisture and dirt, as well as extreme temperature fluctuations between the seasons. Mapei Ultracolor Plus is available in 2kg and 5kg bags, in the following colours: Please note, only some colours are available in 2kg bags. After laying any tiles, you’ll need to choose the right tile grout to help you complete the job and seal your tiles from dirt and moisture - and this is where we can help, too.Once you've chosen your Tiles , it's time to fix them in place using the correct adhesives and grouts. We have a great selection of tile adhesive to choose from; suitable for every surface type - whether you're tiling a wall or floor inside or outside. We also have a fantastic variety of tile grout, along with a range of Accessories and Tools to help you complete the job! Apart from completing an installation, tile grout provides an appealing aesthetic look, capable of making a bold design statement or creating a subtle effect. It also accommodates manufacturing tolerances within tiles, forms a compressible joint to alleviate minor stresses within the installation (not to be confused with movement joints, which are still necessary) and provides a neat transition between adjoining tiles.

Fixing your tiles in place is just one part of the tiling process. They also need a finishing sealing application to provide them with the best possible protection to ensure they stay in situ and look their best for longer.UniBond Ultra Force: these ready-mixed grouts make use of fibre technology for maximum durability, with top protection against moisture and mould to keep your grout looking its best for longer. Colour options include grey and navy blue, infused with glitter to bring sparkle to walls or floors tiled in porcelain, ceramic or natural stone Finishing: When the mix loses its plasticity and becomes opaque, which usually takes place after 15-30 minutes, clean off the excess Ultracolor Plus with a hard, damp sponge (e.g. a MAPEI sponge), working in a diagonal direction to the joints. Rinse the sponge frequently, using two different containers of water: one to remove the excess mix from the sponge, and the other, containing clean water, to rinse the sponge. This operation may also be carried out with a machine with a sponge belt or rotating disc. When the mix is partially set, after 50-60 minutes, a damp Scotch-Brite® sponge or an abrasive felt disc may be passed over the joints to even out the surface. For a solid all-in-one grout option, the Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout boasts excellent water-repelling properties that arere suitable for tile joints of 2mm up to 20mm. It’s also polymer modified, anti-efflorescence and rapid setting - not to mention equipped with anti-mould and drop effect technology, helping to prevent moisture intrusion and erosion over time, wherever you use it.
