[Unused Account 1]

You guys who use tilemaster ,whats the grout like mainly just grey or white flexi ,appreciatte your appreciatte your input cheers

good but the white could be a bit whiter in my opinion, it mixes up well and gives a good joint on porcelain

I only use the grout 3000. Really nice grout, can be a little while firming up in the joint but cleans easy for a flexi. The standard white wall I used to find would shrink a bit in the joint so I'd end up going over it twice. I don't bother with the standard grouts anymore, for the way it performs, ease of use and range of colours I just stick with grout 3000.

Needs leaving a bit like Mapei but doesn't then turn in a flash like Mapei

Yep, gotta be left a while with porc. But, unlike Mapei, doesn't then turn to iron in a flash

Really versatile grout which is easy to use, leaves a nice finish, the grey doesn't suffer from any discolouring, and matching Silicon to go with every colour.

 

[Andy Allen]

Use the greys and jasmine but stick with bal for white...
Great to use especially with pors doesn't slump like some grouts do.

Great grout to work with.good choice of colours too

 

[J Sid]

personally I think you need to go a long way to match the Ardex grouts for useability and colour choice.

Ardex is one of the best grouts I've used......quality gear......I don't think anything really matches up......the fl & fs are just great

Been using ultra for the tiling contractor I'm working for now and that's really easy to work with, probably the easiest to apply and wash off I've actually ever one across

I find both grouts easy to use, only problem I find is when grouting rectified porcelains it dries fast on the face of the tile, but stays to wet in joints,
I spoke to technical dept & they say knock it up as stiff as possible. Easier said than done without a paddle.

The fl is rapid setting , that's what I use for porcs & find it ok, you get that issue with the fs but I just use it for ceramics.....

Better to use a resin or paint whisking paddle using a cordless drill on slow speed. You can pick up those whisks for £5 and everybody has a cordless drill

Use a bit of the flexmaster additive, helps bond to the porcelain and dries in 10 mins.

If he's a tiler and he hasn't got a paddle then he ain't going to get a separate little grout whisk before he gets an addy mixer! And if technical say mix it thick then thick it has to be.
