I have been at Mapei today testing some adhesives and grouts. The new ready mixed grout was a revelation. I was expecting something along the lines of fix n grout but to my surprise it was very good. It washed of the tile lovely and stayed firm in the joint. All in all IMO it was a brilliant grout and I can see a big future for this product (if the price is right)

When you mentioned it in the other thread that's exactly what I thought it would be so good to know it works

Did they explain why they have developed it?

Not exactly but I do know they have been grouting vinyl tiles with it so it is very flexible and just think if you need to grout something and you don’t need a full mix you just put the lid back on and use the rest when ever no waste perfect.

what size are the tubs Deano?

So... What tiles is it suitable for.. what about fully vitrified ones..?.. it seems to be a dispersion mix, so any good for glass/porcelain then.?

flexcolor 5kg tub suitable for walls and floors flexible as far as i am aware it is ok for all tile types including stone. droplet technology and anti mold. they do a 10kg tub in Italy but not going to do them hear yet.

Is this it..

yep think so

No good for stone tiles then i see..

the Italian chap told me it was ok sorry

A fellow Italians word is good enough for me

Ready mixed? Its not a product I would like to use, is it aimed at the DIY market?

thats what i was thinking , nice shiny bright packaging , just right for the shelves of B&Q etc .............

i was thinking the same thing Ready mixed but then i had a go with it and i can see my self using it. i say don't knock it until you have tried it.

I'd think that if Mapei had thought it worthwhile to package under their own brand name, it would be good stuff.

thanks deano interesting specs ///

you lot are all lucky ,i can only get my hands on gramfix down here or everbuild and i wont use everbuild ,the gramfix is good but im thinking after reading everything you guys say the mapei is better

Get hold of your local sales rep they will be able to point you towards Mapei stockist near you

Mapei also have a ready mixed 2 in 1 on the market at the moment for ceramics available in 15kg. Im sure they do a few of the main colours e.g. white, grey and Beige.

Deffo will be more appealing to the diy market. It will help tile merchants sell it to the diy market too as many diyers preffer ready mixed and are put of of buying trade adhesive and grouts becuase they are put of by having to mix themselves.
