What color is Tornado and what does 174 Alu refer to?

How is Ultracolor Plus 174 Alu packaged and what are the benefits?

How long before I can grout after tiling, and when is it safe to step on the grout?
Grout should be applied after the adhesive setting exceeds the tile manufacturer's guidance. Typically, allow the tile adhesive to cure as directed (often around 24 hours), then grout. After grouting, avoid heavy water exposure for at least 24–48 hours; refer to site-specific guidance for exact times.

Sealing is optional with Ultracolor Plus. The grout is formulated to be stain resistant, but in high-stain environments (like kitchens or showers), a compatible cement grout sealer can be used following Mapei recommendations.

Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid inhaling dust, and wash exposed skin with water after handling. Keep out of reach of children and dispose of waste according to local regulations.
