    Default Grout and Sealer

    Hi,
    I am new to the forum, looking for advice / encouragement !
    I am puting down Kerastar 150mm disc (porcelin) tiles, want to use Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout (space blue) with matching silicon for around the edges / drain cover.

    My question is - Is there a product that can be put ontop of the grout to improve its waterproofness ? I have read of AQUA MIX GROUT SEALER and also SEALGUARD and LITHOTHIN GROUT PROTECTOR.

    I have 4m2 of floor to tile with the 150mm sq tiles, any idea if 5kg of ultracolor would be enough or would I need 2 boxes ?

    Thanks,

    Graeme

    Are you talking about a wet room shower floor

    Yeah Whitebeam, it is a wetroom shower floor.
    I have a Marmox Showerstone tray and Homelux waterproof mambrane down at the moment, have a bag of BAL Natural Stone adhesive at the ready ..... just thinking about the grout...
