Mapei are industry-leading tile grout manufacturers with a focus on delivering high-quality products that are also easy to use, even if you’re a novice tiler. With a diverse range of tile grout options available to buy online, we have everything you need to complete your tiling project and ensure you’re left with a professional-looking finish. Why use tile grout? 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. Prep the area: first and foremost, make sure the adhesive has fully dried, then carefully carve out any excess adhesive, tile spacers, dust and other debris between the tile joints, using a vacuum at the final stage to remove as much as possible.

Unglazed klinker tiles should be grouted with the same colour tone Kerapoxy. All other colours should be used only with glazed tiles. After grouting with Mapei Kerapoxy, floors and walls should be cleaned immediately, before the product dries. Wet the surface thoroughly and emulsify with an abrasive pad for cleaning joints (such as Scotch-Brite or Kerakoll Cleaning Pads), making sure not to wash-out the joints. When cleaning walls, the cleaning pad should be fully soaked with water. The excess liquid can be removed with a hard cellulose sponge (e.g. Kerakoll Cellulose Sponge Float), and should be replaced when too full of resin. Use the same type of sponge for the final tooling of the grout. It is very important that once the finishing process has ended, no traces of Mapei Kerapoxy are left on the tile surface because it will be very difficult to remove. It is therefore necessary to frequently rinse the sponge with clean water during the cleaning process.When finishing large floor surface areas, use a rotary, disc-type power float with Scotch-Brite® abrasive pads, well saturated with water. All excess liquid can be removed with a rubber squeegee. The final cleaning cycle may be carried out using Mapei Ultracare Kerapoxy Cleaner for epoxy grout (special cleaning solution for epoxy grout). Mapei Kerapoxy Cleaner may also be used to remove thin residues of grout several hours after application. In such cases, the product must be left to react for longer (15-20 mins.). The efficiency of Mapei Kerapoxy Cleaner depends on the amount of resin residues and how much time has passed since application. Cleaning must always be carried out while “fresh” as described above. The quantities are already in the correct proportions, therefore mistakes should not be made. Do not guess the quantities when mixing the two components. A wrong catalysis ratio could impair the hardening process.Mapei Ultracolor Plus creates water repellent grout joints that have excellent colour uniformity. All colours are resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents. Mapei Kerapoxy Epoxy Tile Grout is a two-component, epoxy-resin based product with silica sand and special components, with excellent resistance to acids and excellent cleanability. This is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds and is classified Emicode EC1 R Plus by GEV when used for grouting. The following features are obtained when used correctly: 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. Preparing the mix: While stirring, pour the Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout powder into a clean, rust-free container containing 21-23% by weight of clean water. Mix the grout with a low-speed mixer to avoid air entrainment, until a smooth paste is obtained. Let the mix stand for 2-3 minutes, and stir again briefly before use. Use the mix within 20-25 minutes of its preparation. When removing already cured Kerapoxy from the joints, use a hot air industrial drier. Remove hardened Mapei Kerapoxy from the tiles with Mapei Pulicol 2000.

Always carry out preliminary tests before grouting stone or ground porcelain with a porous or rough surface. 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

Mapei Ultracolor Plus is suitable for grouting walls and floors in areas that are subject to intense traffic, such as shopping centres, airports, restaurants and other public spaces. It is also suitable for residential use in all areas, such as facades, balconies, terraces and swimming pools.
