Colour of adhesive

[bennettp23]

Hi,

I'm going to be using white grout with ceramic floor tiles, is it imperitive that I use white adhesive?

Thanks

No just don't get loads of it in between the tiles; or if you do, rake it out.

Thanks for the reply.

Is it a problem to use stone and porcelain adhesive on ceraic floor tiles?

It's worth me mentioning this, and I feel so strongley about it you'll have to forgive the caps.... DON'T USE WHITE GROUT ON FLOOR TILES - IT'LL GET GRUBBY REALLY QUICK. In actual fact, I won't have white grout in my house on walls or floors or any other application thank you very much.

That's because you're both racist and offensive

Yes Gcol, you have me worried now.


Kind of light biege colour tiles so maybe I'll get some biege grout?

Got some Mapei Biege, hope the wife likes it!

I'll get it ordered, what is your experience of it, is it as good as people say?

 

[jefoss]

are you asking about the grout or the grout sealer??

mapei is a good grout, a b*gger to work with at first in my opinion, but maybe thtas just me, and im used to it now so its all good!


the sealer is one of the best on the market, i personally use the spray as its much quicker to apply then the solution in the bottle, and to be honest its not that much dearer to use the spray

 

[bennettp23]

I meant the spray so thanks I'll get some!

Regards the grout, is it a bit 'sticky'?? Any tips on working with it?

 

[jefoss]

ive never found it "sticky" as such, best tip i can give you is not to overboard on it, mapei is good for keeping its colour each time you mix it, where as other cheaper ones seem to be a slightly different shade occasionally, so you would have to mix enough to do all at the same time.

yes i think that made sense...

No, just a realist. White grout gets grubby very quickly....end of.
