    Default Grout Sealer/Protector for Mapei Grout - Ultra Colour

    Hi All,

    I have recently used Mapei Ultra Colour 113 grout and i am now looking to protect it. Can anyone recommend a sealer/protector for this grout or offer any advice.

    I came across a Tech Bulletin (link below) that states a Silicone sealer should only be used, has anyone used a silicone sealer for grout, if so could you give any advice/info about using it or any recommendations.

    "Use a silicone sealer on MAPEI’s Ultracolor® grout. Due to its low porosity and hardness, a regular sealer will not penetrate it."

    Many thanks in advance.

    LTP Mattstone seals it well. 3 years on and it's still waterproof.
