Mapei Ultracolor Plus Tile Grout 5kg 138 Almond

It is formulated to work with a wide range of tile types—including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone—and is suitable for a variety of common joint widths encountered in residential, commercial, and public tiling projects. Always follow the joint width recommendations on the product label for best results.

Ultracolor Plus 138 Almond offers high strength, excellent resistance to staining and bacteria, and a smooth finish that’s easy to clean. It’s designed for hassle-free application and long-lasting performance in both interior and exterior settings, with a color that coordinates well with many tile designs. When comparing options on Fepy, you’ll often find other Mapei grouts like Flexcolor CQ, Planicolor, and Kerapoxy CQ, which vary in finish (pre-mixed vs. cementitious), cure times, and maintenance needs.

Mix Ultracolor Plus Plus with clean water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free paste. Use a rubber float to press the grout firmly into the joints at a 45-degree angle, ensuring joints are fully filled. After removing excess grout, wipe the tile surface with a damp sponge to remove haze. Allow sufficient cure time between grouting and subsequent tile cleaning or sealing, and follow the product label guidelines for best results.

You should be able to remove grout haze and finish cleaning within a short period after grout application, using a damp sponge as advised. The area should be allowed to cure per the product instructions before heavy use or exposure to moisture; in typical installations, this may be within 24–72 hours depending on temperature, humidity, and airflow.

Yes. Ultracolor Plus Plus is designed for interior and exterior use and provides durable, water-resistant performance suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, and outdoor installations when installed and cured correctly.

Wear protective gloves and eye protection when mixing and applying. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling grout dust. Follow the safety data sheet (SDS) and label instructions for handling, mixing ratios, and cleanup.

Almond 138 is a warm, neutral shade designed to complement light to medium-toned tiles and create a cohesive, natural look. It tends to blend well with beige, cream, and earth-toned tiles, making it a versatile choice for many kitchens and bathrooms.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals, and addressing stains quickly helps maintain the grout’s appearance. While Ultracolor Plus Plus has strong stain resistance, drying tiles after use and preventing standing water in joints will extend its life. If you plan to install in a particularly stain-prone area, consider periodic maintenance per the product guidelines.

Coverage depends on joint width, tile size, and grout depth. For planning, estimate based on your tile layout and joint width, then round up to account for waste and cuts. In large or exterior projects, purchasing extra packs is common to ensure color consistency and complete coverage.

Mapei emphasizes environmental responsibility in its formulations, and Ultracolor Plus Plus is designed to be durable and long-lasting with low maintenance needs. Check the product label or SDS for specifics on VOC content and safety certifications.
