porcelainosa grout

[doug boardley]

What would you compaire it to, bal or mapei? I hate mapei!

a lot nicer to use than mapei ultracolur, no flash setting, creamier too. I'd guess bal microflex is closest to it, (but that long since I've used bal that I'm struggling to rightly remember)

 

[John Benton]

What did you use prior to this Doug?

 

[doug boardley]

Ultra and Weber and occasionally Mapei Ultracolour. Out of those three I liked Ultra the best, but if yesterdays impression of tilemaster 3000 is owt to go by, I'll be using that from now on.

Where you get that from then?

 

[doug boardley]

My supplier in Kendal has switched from Ultra (Instarmac) to Tilemaster addy and grout.

 

[John Benton]

You tried the addy yet?

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

1st time using it next week, what's it like?

Just make sure you follow the mixing instructions to the letter Mark, I know one guy who is being sued for shaded Butec grout.

The butech grouts are made by Mapei, that info came from a Mapei rep. It is very similar to ultra colour, sets quickly, needs to be mixed precisely and has to be washed off within a certain time frame.

I use a lot of grout 3000 all my local tile shops are selling it now, it has a smooth texture and it's a flexible wall and floor grout it's defiantly more like bal, i like it a lot to doug I grouted a 40m trav bathroom in jasmine last week nice stuff to work with

have you tried it John?

I seem to recall about 5 or so yrs ago I fixed some slate for a customer and they supplied the addy and I'm sure it was Tilemaster. I've since been back to tile kitchen floor in same slate and it was all still there so I guess it can't have been too bad!
