Mapei Fast-Setting Grout, 5Kg, Suitable for Durable, Water-Repellent Joints in Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles, Steel Blue - Pack of 4

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This compares color options rather than performance. Ultracolor Plus 169 Alu yields an alu/steel-blue look, while Ultracolor Plus 163 White provides a bright white grout. Both variants share the same fast-setting formula, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning; choose based on the contrast you want with your tiles.

Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection when handling the powder. Work in a well-ventilated area, keep the product away from children, and follow the Safety Data Sheet guidelines. After mixing, avoid skin contact with the uncured grout and wash exposed skin promptly if contact occurs.

The product comes in a 4 x 5kg pack. Depending on tile size and joint width, this quantity covers more than about 6 square metres of tiling. Always calculate joint width and tile area for an exact estimate based on your project specifics.
