Best and Worst grout

BAL micromax all excellent but gunmetal deffo got problem with patchy results. No problem with Nicobond. Tried white Grout3000 and wasn't impressed.....not as white as BAL and took to long to go off
 
Interesting posts, from my experience , used to love Weber silver grey, 12 years ago, anything nowadays by Weber or transfix I won't touch.
For colour fastness bal micromax, all day long. Rarely patchy but a dog on porcelain. Mapei ucp on anything pale or ceramics, so quick to stabilise and settle, can finish a room wall by wall easily on ceramics.
Interesting to hear the tile master 3000 gets votes, love their levelling gear, never tried grouts, but may do now....
As far as anything grey, then gal mcromax 2 smoke wins for me, then mapei jasmine for anything else
 
Weber pro joint is the worst for me by a long way.
I really get on with Ultra grout, i find it sets somewhere inbetween 3000 and ucp and that suits my speed.
 
Have just used Micromax 2 Gunmetal for 25m2 in a wetroom. Very easy to mix, joints filled easily and mixing ratio seemed perfect. Finish is uniform and pleasing.
Mapei UCP Anthracite used on the floor (same room). Again easy to mix but was very thick following mix instructions and thus hard to compare application. Finish is very similar to the BAL.
 
Mapei UCP but geez the grouts change a bit depending what colour it is. 110 is awful most others are ok.
 
Ardex grouts are the best I find, can't fault them. I used the Tilemaster 3000 grout not long ago and found it horrendous to use, pin holed and washed out the joints. Terrible stuff.
