Yes. It is formulated for use on internal and external floors and walls and performs well in moisture-prone areas without shrinkage or settlement.

Question 5

How do I mix and apply Ultracolor Plus Alu for best results?

Accepted Answer

Mix clean, potable water with the powder to a smooth, trowelable consistency. Let the mix stand briefly, then remix and apply with a rubber float, pressing firmly into joints. Once set, remove excess grout with a damp sponge and clean the tile surface carefully.

Question 6

What tools and techniques are recommended for finishing the joints?

Accepted Answer

Use a rubber grout float to press the grout into joints, remove excess material with the float at a 45-degree angle, and finish with a damp sponge to achieve a uniform surface. Avoid overworking joints to prevent material pull-out.

Question 7

How should I clean and maintain grout after installation?

Accepted Answer

Wait for initial set, then wipe the surface with a damp sponge to remove grout residues. For ongoing maintenance, periodically clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals that could dull the finish.

Are there safety or handling precautions I should follow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection when mixing and applying. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling dust. Follow standard safety guidelines for cement-based products.

Question 9

How much area does one 5 kg pack cover, and how does joint size affect coverage?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on tile size and joint width. Larger joints and bigger tiles change the amount of grout required. Plan your project accordingly, as a 5 kg pack can cover a typical range of areas depending on the joint width and tile dimensions.
