Grout Kerapoxy Cq

[macten]

Wondering if anyone on here has used this?

I do not remember. if cq. Mapei produces. 6 types of Kerapoxy

I have. It comes with a paste rather than a liquid resin.
Supposed to be easier to use and it is a little softer, but the wash up is still an issue as with all epoxies.
Tends to leave an oily residue rather than a sticky one.
I don't rate it any better than normal Kerapoxy but I am one of the few (I think) who don't mind epoxy.

Am thinking of using it for my ensuite but I'm starting to think it's overkill and I'm spending for the sake of spending. 2 minds whether to use epoxy or ultracolour with a good grout sealer.

ultracolor without thinking

More I think about it UC is the way forward. I want to be cracking on with final fix day after grouting - don't want to be waiting around for a week.

Epoxy in a domestic shower is a bit overkill. I think the CQ is supposed to be easier to work with but cant say Ive noticed any difference, its all cr@p lol.

Hi

I'm currently tiling 2 upstairs wetrooms in a new extension on my own house and am considering using kerapoxy cq.

I've read other threads on here where it's been used on 1st floor timber floors without any problems

I've called mapei and they confirmed that as its epoxy, once cured it had no flexibility.

Has anyone else used it on timber sub floors?

The reason I want to use epoxy us it's impermeable, although I have tanked both wet areas, I have read so many horror stories where water sits under the tiles and gets through etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
Paul

If the timber subfloor is prepped properly it's fine to use. I've decided it's not worth the money and extra work applying it for a domestic shower that has been tanked.

Yes, I agree with you about it not being worth the extra time and money.....but i think I'll go for it as its my own house.
