    Default How much grouting will I get out of 5KG

    Hello!

    I'm about to grout my floor, the tiles are 300x600 with about 5mm spacing.

    I'm going to be using Maipei ultracolour plus (powder form), roughly speaking how much square meterage will I get out of one 5KG bag?

    I appreciate it'll be a broad answer, but I've got the whole foot print of a bungalow to do totalling about 70Msq, so it'd be useful to narrow down the answer.

    Cheers

    its a hard one to call, what thickness are the tiles and what depth of adhesive have you laid the tiles on?

    I'd say somewhere in the region of 8-10 m2 per 5 kg bag.
