    You can have sanded and unsanded (fine) grout, good colours, too. Yes, I used the white in my appletree bathroom, it's not as icewhite as some icewhite silicons, but it is white as good quality paper, if that makes sense? The local place where I got it from does have a sample sticks tray, but of course it gets handled on the shop floor and the white does not look as white as it does when fresh. I sealed the grout with seal guard, I have had some issues with tiny 1-2mm dots of mould after 2 or so years, and there is a slight yellowing going on now on the bit in the tree that gets the wettest from showering, but I do shower every day, so it's not bad going. It does not have the pearl effect of the Mapei grout but it is finer and mixes more easily imo. Hope that helps?

    I mainly use ultra Jamie and never had a problem at all with the addy or grout.

    Haven't used it for a long time myself but was impressed with it when i did. I think Bri is a fan of the stuff, he might be able to give you a better review. Have a read through the link below for a little bit of info on their powder addy range.

    Used the white grout not long ago but thought it was greyish not brilliant white, so would not use again.
    Nice enough to work with though.

    the "fine" range of grouts really do give a smooth finish.
