Grout Is Ultracolour Plus Grout Flexible? - Tile Advice

[RandyC]

Hi all, I'm laying 150mm x 900mm tiles staggered on the kitchen floor and looking for a cement grey grout. I've seen that Mapei do the Ultracolour Plus, and some bags state flexible and some don't. I've checked on the Mapei website and it says that Ultracolour is flexible, but just making sure that it's all flexible and there isn't some old batch that isn't, or if there are 2 versions?

For example as a DIY'er I tend to go to Screwfix for the supplies but this doesn't state it's flexible: Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout Cement Grey 5kg - https://www.NoLinksToThis/p/mapei-ultracolor-plus-grout-cement-grey-5kg/55838

ultracolor or other types of cementitious and epoxy fillers
they are not flexible.
the only flexible is this type of grouting

technical sheet in Italian does not say flexible.
perhaps the technical data sheet in English yes.

Actually interesting , maybe ucp for English market is flexible. But maybe screwfix import it themselves so it may not be ucp for the English market.

What does the technical data sheet say in English?

No mention of being flexible.

Just taken a picture of a bag in the van. Albeit made in Nov 18

 

[Qwerty]

My understanding is that it is flexible but you're right the specs dont specifically mention it

Ive moved this from the DIY section into the grout section

The mention of special polymers on the spec sheet would suggest a degree of flexibility.

Ti guess it is with so many people using it in bathrooms etc

 

[Sonic dlf]

i have always been led to believe that ucp is flexible

on the bag here in Italy, it is not written flexible.
