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. You must be available to accept delivery on the date you have requested, failure to do so will result in paying for a re delivery charge. Remove excess grout: with a dry sponge, wipe away any excess grout to make sure all the gaps are completely filled. Make sure you don’t scrub hard with the sponge though, as this could pull grout out of the grooves.

How to choose the right tile grout?

If the cleaning operation is carried out too soon (the mix is still too wet), some of the mix may be removed from the joints. If grouting is carried out in extremely hot, dry or windy weather, we 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 Purposes In wet environments, groutwith reduced water absorption is also beneficial and are classified as CG2W. High-performance products offer combined benefits. For example, Mapei Ultracolor Plus is classified as CG2WA, so offers high resistance to abrasion and reduced absorption of water. These features make it ideal for heavy duty and wet duty environments. The product also contains mould inhibitors for added protection in showers and bathrooms, as well as external facades, balconies and terraces. For Natural Stone When choosing a grout, it’s important to consider the final use of the tile installation. In heavy-duty floor tile applications, such as shopping malls or leisure complexes, it’s logical to choose a grout which is able to cope with the increased demands placed on the flooring. The tiled finish will be required to withstand increased abrasion and more frequent foot traffic. Tile grout is a dense fluid which is used for bonding and sealing the joints between tiles. First, grout is used for fixing your wall or floor tiles to the desired surface, then the grout is used to seal the spaces in between the tiles. Once it dries, it'll form a fluid concrete that will effectively keep these tiles in place.
