All Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout colours are also available in a matching silicone – Mapesil AC Silicone. If using this grout with moisture sensitive natural stone tiles, a low modulus silicone is advised – Mapei Mapesil LM Silicone. All Mapei grouts deliver premium performance, but they aren’t necessarily all equal. Some Mapei tile grouts boast different properties, making them better suited for use in particular environments.

Always carry out preliminary tests before grouting stone or ground porcelain with a porous or rough surface. Tiles Direct is your one-stop tiling shop, which means we won’t just help you find the perfect tile for your interior design project - we also have a raft of additional tiling accessories, including Mapei tile grout, to ensure you get a professional and long-lasting finish.

Applying the grout: Fill the joints with the Mapei Ultracolor Plus mix using a special MAPEI grout float or rubber squeegee, without leaving any gaps or steps. Remove any excess of Mapei Ultracolor Plus from the surface, by moving the float diagonally to the joints while the mix is still fresh. 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.

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 Apply the grout: load grout mixture onto your grout float and generously apply it to the gaps between the tiles. Using diagonal and firm strokes across the tile joints, make sure you press the grout fully into the grooves so it’s filled to the top and evenly distributed. To ensure complete coverage, we’d suggest applying grout to small areas, working your way logically along.
