Question 2

What are the key features and specifications of Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu 4 x 5kg?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include a fast-setting formulation with excellent non-slip properties, a 4 x 5kg pack for greater tiling coverage, built-in protection against staining, and a composition that resists shrinkage and cracking after it sets. The product is suitable for a range of tile colors, including alu and darker ceramic tiles, and is designed for straightforward application and cleaning.

Question 3

What tiles and substrates is Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu suitable for?

Accepted Answer

It is suitable for ceramic and porcelain tiles, including alu/metallic-look finishes, as well as other darker or lighter tiles. It adheres well to typical tiling substrates such as concrete, screed, and backer boards when properly prepared and primed according to the product guidelines.

Question 4

How do I mix and apply Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu 4 x 5kg?

Accepted Answer

Mix the powder with clean water to a creamy, workable consistency. Use a rubber float to spread the grout over the tiles, pressing it into joints at the recommended joint width. Remove excess grout with the float, then clean the tile surfaces with a damp sponge before the grout skins over. For best results, follow the product’s mixing instructions on the tub and allow appropriate setting time before use.

Question 5

How long does Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu take to cure and when can I clean the joints after grouting?

Accepted Answer

Ultracolor Plus 169 is designed to set quickly, with rapid handling suitable for most interior tiling projects. Cleaning of the joints and tiles is typically done after initial set but before the grout fully hardens. Actual cure times depend on ambient temperature and humidity, so follow the product guidelines on the packaging for best results.

Question 6

How does Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu compare to Ultracolor Plus 168 Grey?

Accepted Answer

Both are fast-setting, stain-resistant grouts with similar performance characteristics, but they differ in color. Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu provides an alu/steel-blue hue, while Ultracolor Plus 168 Grey offers a grey shade. Both share the same durability, non-shrink properties, and ease of cleaning; the choice mainly affects tile color matching and grout aesthetics.

Both variants share the same fast-setting formula, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning; choose based on the contrast you want with your tiles.
