Red/Crimson grout

[On one]

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone can direct me in the right direction for a grout supplier that does a wall grout in the deep red/crimson range.
The nearest I can find is Mapei's UCP 143 which is a chocolate brown colour. Nothing in the Bal, Ardex, Weber range comes close.

Would yo be open to using epoxy grout ? if so you can get Kerapoxy design in red.

What about ucp 145.

Thanks Sir Ramic, I will check out the colour but might be unlikely as I'm a epoxy virgin!

Cheers Dave. 145 is not as good a match as the 143 which is close but not quite there

How do these match up?

The Brick red looks pretty damn close. Who is the manufacterer?

This is the manufacturer

ATLAS ARTIS GROUT Product cart

And this is my supplier in Leeds where I get my grout from. It's not a stock item and would have to be ordered.

Hi John
Spoke to Martin today about ordering grout in....and it takes about 6 weeks to get in from Poland! ,plus carriage of £30. So might be a non starter. Would still like to get a swatch so if the occaission ever occurred again

Brick cement dye looks the best bet at the moment!

I was I CTD on Saturday and Ardex have just revised their grout range, I've got a meeting with the rep next week hopefully to get a chart and a few samples, is the red in this pic any good?

I've never steered off the stocked colours wrighty so I wasn't sure how long it would take to get in, but that sounds a bit painful. Is it for a Sunderland fan by any chance :smilewinkgrin:

Cheers Bri, that red is on the pink side of red for my needs. The red I need is on the deep crimson side of things.
Kerakoll do red but the rep said it is a pillar box red.

 

[John Benton]

You could always try this wrighty

At the minute that's not a bad idea,but the job is a little bit too close to home for that kind of thing! lol
