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 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

Why use tile grout?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. 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. 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
