Getting close to crunch time

......It might be worth speaking to the locals to see if they can offer specialist grout but I doubt they will.

Thanks Ajax. Will do. It'll be interesting to see if the Parexlanko grout (545 Prolijoint Souple) is cement based or gypsum - it's not clear from their tech note. One thing that IS interesting though is that the grout claims to be water repellent (not water resistent) - might be good for avoiding mould growth. The BAL Superflex is just water resistant.

But not waterproof

But not waterproof

no. not waterproof, so tanking will still be needed in the bathroom, but the picture from the Parexlanko site (http://www.parexlanko.com/upload/produits/fiche_tech/106/Fich_tek_545_09.pdf) shows beading of the water on the grout lines ... got to be a good thing, hasn't it?

Actually the data sheet does translate to Waterproof so not sure. Hydraulic binders and grey powders tend to indicate cement. It also has a pearlescent finish by the looks of it.
