    Default mapei fugi fresca coverage

    hi all,i have a kitchen floor which is cream porcelain with mapei beige grout to re grout

    they have a dog so the grout is badly discoloured in the centre of the kitchen in high traffic areas and has kept its colour in the edges making itlook bad

    customer doesnt want a dark grout put it so i suggested we re colour with fugi fresca...having not used this before it seems to be in an applicator bottle ...what kind of coverage does this give on 4mm joints does anyone know off hand

    also can anyone reccomend a really good grout sealer to try and maintain this grout...having used spray sealers in the past i am not sold on them at all so open to you guys opininions if you have one that works

    Oops sorry it was Aquamix colourant I used for the grey, The Fuga fresca was white and only used a small amount.

    I have found that the stuff that Tradetiler sells now is better than the fuga freca IMO

    Haven't used that one, but have used the universal one a couple of times recently with great result's. As for sealer's, I personally don't think they stop the grout getting dirty but sometimes make it easier to clean it.

    Aqua Mix Grout Colorant all the way! It's far superior to Fuga Fresca (Or Grout Fresh to give it the English Name).
