Question 1

What is Mapei Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu 4x5kg and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Mapei Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu is a premium cementitious grout designed for ceramic and stone tiles. It features an aluminium-colored finish and provides a smooth, uniform surface once cured. The package contains four 5 kg bags, making it suitable for mid-sized tiling jobs where a durable, easy-to-clean grout is desired.

Question 2

What tiles and tile thickness is Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu suitable for?

Accepted Answer

It is suitable for ceramic and natural stone tiles and supports tile thickness up to 20 mm. It can be used for internal and external installations where a mould-resistant, water-repellent grout is beneficial.

Question 3

How do I mix Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu?

Accepted Answer

Mix the powder with clean water in a suitable container until you achieve a smooth, lump-free grout. Use a clean mixing paddle/bit and stir until the mixture has a uniform consistency. Avoid adding extra water once the mix starts to thicken.

Question 4

How do I apply Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu?

Accepted Answer

Use a rubber float to press the grout into the tile joints at a 45-degree angle, ensuring joints are filled fully. Remove excess grout with the float, then work in sections. After initial set, wipe the tiles with a damp sponge to remove grout haze, rinsing the sponge frequently.

Question 5

When can I walk on the grout and how long does it take to cure?

Accepted Answer

Typically, you can resume light foot traffic after the grout has set enough to avoid dislodging the joints, with full cure achieved over a longer period under appropriate conditions. Drying and curing times can vary with temperature and humidity.

Question 6

Is Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu mould resistant and water/dirt resistant after curing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The grout is designed to resist mould growth and, once cured, provides water and dirt resistance that helps with cleaning and maintenance, making it suitable for both bathrooms and kitchens as well as some outdoor applications.

Question 7

Can Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu be used for external installations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is suitable for internal and external tile installations, provided the substrate is properly prepared and the installation conditions are appropriate for outdoor use.

Question 8

What does the aluminium finish look like and how does color retention perform over time?

Accepted Answer

The finish is aluminium-colored, chosen to complement light-toned tiles and stones. When properly cured and maintained, the color remains consistent with standard cleaning cycles; avoid aggressive cleaners that could dull the surface.

Question 9

How do I calculate how much Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu I need for my project?

Accepted Answer

Estimate the total linear length of joints by multiplying joint length by width, then multiply by tile area to get the overall joint area. Divide by the approximate coverage per bag (which depends on tile size and joint width) to determine the number of bags required. Use the four 5 kg bags in this pack as a reference for a typical mid-sized job.

Question 10

Do I need to seal Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu after installation?

Accepted Answer

Sealing is generally not required for standard installations as the grout is designed to be water- and dirt-resistant after curing. Sealing may be considered in areas with highly porous substrates or where extra stain resistance is desired.

Question 11

What safety precautions should I follow when using Ultracolor Plus 123 Alu?

Accepted Answer

Wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling the powder and mixing. Ensure adequate ventilation, avoid skin contact with the dry powder, and wash hands after use. Keep out of reach of children and avoid ingestion.
