    Default Mapei Ultracolour Plus 2kg & 5kg

    This is something I just found out about a week ago from my rep. The 2kg Ultracolour Plus bags are made in a different factory than the 5kg bags. so may differ slightly in shade. Just something to keep in mind if you need alittle extra grout for your job.

    Sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find it if it has

    It surprised me too. But I was glad he told me so I can pass it on. I don't know if is a recent thing, or if it has been like this for a while. Maybe someone from Mapei will see this and clarify

    Thanks Matt, That little nugget of info could well save me from future heartache

    hmmm also I wonder if one is lighter than the other? as not too long ago a customer wanted a light grey and Mapei greys IMO could do with a shade between 110 and 112. and don't even get me started on 112 and 113, can any of you tell the difference?

    I know what you mean about the difference between 112 and 113, well, there isn't really any

    Isn't 111 (Silver Grey) just a touch darker than 110 (Manhattan)?
