    wall, floor and celing tanking,
    1 humidifing extractor (in steam area), 1 "on lights" extreactor" constant on illumination, mosaic celing, fully tiled area, and epoxy everywhere!

    absolutly no....this is suitable for swimming pools rubbish,

    epoxy grout does not absorb, ultracolur does!

    and ultracolour is the best grout in the world!
