Glad you like the Mapei jasmine.
probably lucky that it is on a floor rather than a wet area.
Nothing wrong with the grout but if you use in wet area then it goes back to that unsightly orange colour when wet till it dries out.
i have had to seal the grout to help,prevent this happening.
honestly it looks dreadful on a babthroom floor / shower areas when wet and I have had many complaints.
plus side is that it is rapid and don't always need a Swiss double grout to get flush joint .

I'll bare that in mind JC.
That's one thing i did like is you get a good, consistent and filled joint with it. I've gone back to using Weber adhesives but always found their grout a bit rubbish. Use to shrink or slump a bit. But the Mapei was a pleasure.
