I checked. They do 'Mould Shield'. I cant see a mention of microban in their grouts. I see they add pva to their forever white grout.

A water-based polymer emulsion specifically formulated to provide a temporary, protective coating to ceramic tile/mosaic surfaces during the grouting process. Suitable for use with all BAL grouting products.
BAL PROTECTIVE SEALER is a water dispersible temporary sealer designed to protect the tile surface against discolouration which may arise when using pigmented grouts. It is not a permanent sealer.

Black grout.... Painful!
Paul our tiler BEGGED me not to use it with black tiles. Its better to use ivory and to pick out the tiles than use black grout and have a "slab of black" were his words.
I so nearly went for black grout on the feature wall but my God am I pleased I didnt. Not only saved myself months of clear up but also it would have stained the natural tiles next to it on the left.
If you get a black grout job in future see if you can talk em round to ivory !

I would have preferred black for the back wall, showing off the shower fittings....the wall could have been grouted before the natural tile cut went against it....just a thought
