Which brand of Grout do you prefer to use?

[andy-p]

i have switched from using bal and mapei to pci,s grout , good price , good colour range but most important dead easy to work with, great finish and no patchy bits...

One of the independant tile supplier's I buy my material's from has sample's of mapei, I tried the grout for the first time it go's off faster than any I've used before but got a good finish, hope they decide to supply mapei

yeah, found that myself,mixed enough to do en-suite walls and utility floor (they were both slate) ended up skipping half of it 'cos it had set.My guager was like excalibur stuck in bucket!:lol:

I still use Nicobond for general white and grey grout, but have used mapei for other colours, not used their black yet as ive used BAL.

Re. grouting in black; the use of Mapei, or other rapid set grouts with black or other dark colours helps I have found, since the ongoing setting allows you to clean it back fully. Where the grout stays wet during the whole process there comes a point where all you are doing is smearing the work and dragging out the grout, requiring you to leave it and return the next day to complete the clean off.

BAL by far, then again my mums porridge would probably do the job too :lol:

By far the most superior grout is Mapei, mainly due to its anti-efflorecence properties. BAL comes a close second and Dunlop (only limestone wide joint) third.

the worst grout must be butechs , horrible nasty stuff to work with..

I used to use Dunlop flexi grout, or ordinary dunlop grout with flexi add, but neither gives as good results as bal, I've spotted a store who does mapei grout and might have to give it a try...Hmm anyone used to mapei?
