  Mapei Fuga Fresca – Grout Reviver (26 Colours)

  £5.45

  Mapei Fuga Fresca

  Mapei Fuga Fresca grout reviver is designed to be the perfect product for giving old and stained grout that new look finish. The Fuga comes in a small, blue handheld, shoe polish style case with a foam applicator end. A shake and a squeeze will fill the foam end with the Fuga paint ready for application.

  During application, there can be some overlay onto the tiles (or another surface that the grout in between). This can be cleaned off, but we recommend that you do so as you go, so it doesn’t have time to dry. A good cleaning product would be Everbuild wonder wipes, that can be found here, or you can use a damp sponge. As it is water based, any residue will be easy to remove providing this is done as the product is applied.

  RECOMMENDATIONS

  Areas of use, simply put, any internal grout, it is not recommended for external grout or any grout that is constantly immersed in water, i.e. swimming pools, basins etc. Epoxy grout is an exception as it is already stain proof. It would also be advised not to use the Fuga Fresca on friable grout, anything loose or not crumbly, as it simply won’t work. If after the first application the colour difference between the original grout and the first coat of Fuga, it may be the case of needing an additional coat to strengthen the colour. This only works on grout, please do not use on silicone.

  APPLICATION

  Ensure that the joints are free from loose parts, dirt and any mould free. Once cleaned, the grout joint needs to be dry before the application of the Fuga Fresca and after the application any overlay on the tiles to be removed as mentioned above. Once finished with the Fuga Fresca, it’s advised to thoroughly clean the sponge end; this can be done by running it under a tap.

  Mapei Keracolor FF 5KG

  £5.45 – £6.83

  Keracolor FF is a high performance cementitious grout, polymer modified, for joints up to 6 mm.

   

  WHERE TO USE

  Grouting interior and exterior floor and wall tiling (single fired, double fired, klinker, porcelain tile, etc.), stone material (natural stones, marble, granite, agglomerates, etc.), glass and marble mosaics.

  Some application examples;

  – Grouting floor and ceramic wall tiles in interiors.

  – Grouting swimming pools.

  – Grouting particularly smooth and glossy floor surfaces (smooth and polished porcelain, pre-smoothened and polished marble, glazed tiles).

  – Grouting ceramic tile industrial flooring where resistance to chemical agents is not required (garages, warehouses, etc.).

   

  TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  Keracolor FF is a blend of cement, very fine-graded aggregates, special polymers, additives and pigments. The use of special hydrophobic additives (DropEffect and BioBlock technology) gives grouting mortars highly water-repellent properties, making them less prone to dirtiness and with excellent durability. The addition of BioBlock® technology resists the growth of mould and mildew, allowing the grout to be easily cleaned.

  The following features are obtained when mixed with the right water ratio and used correctly:

  – water-repellent and droplet-effect;

  – mould and mildew resistant

  – good compressive and flexural strength, good resistance to freeze/thaw cycles, and therefore good durability;

  – a smooth final surface with low water absorption, therefore easy to clean;

  – excellent abrasion resistance;

  – low shrinkage, therefore an absence of cracks and fissures;

  – good resistance to acids with pH >3;

  – excellent value for performance.

  When mixing Keracolor FF with Fugolastic, a special synthetic resin-based polymeric additive, the final characteristics are improved for use even under harsh conditions (grouting façades, swimming pools, bathrooms, floors with heavy traffic). For further information, consult the Fugolastic technical datasheet.

   

  RECOMMENDATIONS

  – Do not mix Keracolor FF with cement or any other products. Never add water to the mixture that is beginning to set.

  – Do not blend different grout colours together as there is a risk of colour inconsistency and lack of uniformity of the final shade once the grout has set.

  – Never mix Keracolor FF with salty or dirty water.

  – Use the product in temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

  Mapei Keracolor SF 5KG

  £5.86

  Keracolor SF is a super fine, high performance cementitious grout, polymer modified, for joints up to 4 mm.

  WHERE TO USE

  Keracolor SF is used for internal and external grouting of floors and finishes in all types of ceramic (single-fired, double-fired, klinker, porcelain, etc.), stone material (natural stone, marble, granite, agglomerates, etc.), and glass and marble mosaic. Some application examples

  • Grouting narrow tile joints in all types of tiles on floors and walls in buildings for domestic use.

  • Grouting tile joints in glass mosaic and pre-finished marble.

  • Grouting joints in finishes with a particularly smooth and shiny surface (polished porcelain, polished marble, etc.).

   

  TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  Keracolor SF is a blend of cement, fine-grained inert materials, synthetic resins, special admixtures and pigments. Keracolor SF is characterised by its unique rheological behaviour, making it particularly suitable for grouting narrow tile joints. When mixed with water in the proportions recommended and correctly applied, it forms a grouting mortar with the following characteristics: • good compressive and flexural strength and good resistance to freeze/thaw cycles, and therefore optimum durability; • smooth, compact finished surface with a very fine grain structure, with low water absorbency and therefore easy cleaning;

  • excellent resistance to abrasion;

  • low shrinkage rate, therefore free of cracks and crevices;

  • good resistance to acids with pH > 3;

  • excellent cost-performance ratio. By mixing Keracolor SF with Fugolastic, a special synthetic resin-based polymeric admixture, its final characteristics are further improved, and it reaches a level of strength that makes it suitable for even the most severe in-service conditions (grouting façades, swimming pools, bathrooms and even floors subject to heavy traffic). Keracolor SF and Fugolastic admix may also be used for grouting joints in marble to be polished after laying. For further information, please refer to the Fugolastic Technical Data Sheet.

   

  RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Do not mix Keracolor SF with cement or other products, and never add water once it has started to set.

  • Do not blend different grout colours together as there is a risk of colour inconsistency and non-uniform final shade once the grout has set.

  • Never mix Keracolor SF with salt-water or dirty water.

  • Use the product at a temperature of between +5°C and +35°C.

  Mapei UltraColor Plus Grout 2KG

  £4.47 – £5.33

  WHERE TO USE MAPEI ULTRACOLOR PLUS

  Mapei Ultracolor Plus Tile Grout is a quick-setting and drying tile grout for grouting joints from 2 to 20 mm wide. Comes in 2kg and 5kg bags, the 5kg bag can be found here. Can be used internally and externally for grouting floors and walls in all types of ceramic. For instance, double-fired, single-fired, clinker, porcelain, etc.), terracotta, stone material, such as natural stone, marble, granite & agglomerates. Similarly with glass and marble mosaic.

  Application examples

  – For grouting floors and walls that are subject to high levels of traffic (airports, shopping centres, restaurants, bars, etc.).
  – Applying to walls & floors in residential areas (hotels, private houses, etc.).
  – Similarly, with grouting floors and walls on façades, balconies and on swimming pools.

  TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  Ultracolor Plus creates a grouting mortar with the following features:

  – Water-repellent and droplet-effect
  – Colours resistant to ultra-violet rays and atmospheric agents
  – After roughly 3 hours, ready for light foot traffic.
  – After that is shrinkage compensated, therefore free from cracks

  Therefore it has optimum resistance to abrasion, compression and flexural strength, even after freeze/thaw cycles, and therefore optimum durability. In addition, it has good resistance to acids with pH > 3.

  RECOMMENDATIONS

  – Ultracolor Plus does not contain Portland cement and must not be mixed with gypsum or other binders.
  – Use the product at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.
  – To avoid an uneven finish, we do not recommend sprinkling Ultracolor Plus powder onto the filled grout joints.
  – Do not use Ultracolor Plus grout in expansion and movement joints.
  – In conclusion, the surface of certain tiles or stone material may have micro-porosity or a rough surface. We advise carrying out a preliminary test to check how easy it is to clean the surface where necessary to apply a protective treatment to the surface. In other words, this is to ensure the grout does not penetrate into the surface porosity of the tiles.

  Matching silicone available here. Alternatively, if you are looking at revving your current grout, we offer the Mapei Fuga Fresca, ideal for dulling grout to be brought back to life.
