Product Information

Remove excess grout from tile surface before it sets with the edge of the float at a 45 degree angle

Once your Mapei glitter grout is fully cured, it provides excellent stain resistance and becomes an easily cleanable surface, whilst also adding a personal touch to your tiles. For those in search of a touch of glam, we even supply a selection of tile grout glitter additives in gold, silver, grey, pink and more. Perfect for giving tiled areas some added sparkle to bounce light around the room, this glitter can be added to your grout mix before you apply. Before starting the process of adding new grout to tiles, any existing grout or loose materials must be removed from the tile joints. This provides a blank canvas for adding new grout and ensures maximum effect of the new glitter grout. Test the grout on a small area or edge of a spare tile to see how the glitter looks before committing to sealing the full area For best results, the whole tub of Mapei Kerapoxy Design Grout should be mixed at the time of usage. Part mixing is possible, however you would need to weigh out the materials and the required dosage using calibrated digital scales, to make sure the proportions of product used are correct.Glitter grout additives can be mixed into any epoxy, cement or acrylic grout, meaning whatever type of grout you need to seal your tiles, you can still achieve your desired sparkle. Whatever grout you use, the key is to make sure the glitter is thoroughly mixed into the solution for even distribution. Add instant wow-factor to your kitchen with this simplest of ideas. Just team a white tile – Metro tiles being the classic choice – with a dark grout and, boom, your room just got a whole lot cooler. Whilst preparing the grout, you must be wearing protective gloves. Upon opening the Mapei Kerapoxy Design Tub, you will see two components within the tub; a filler and a reaction hardener. This is where tile grout comes into play, providing a hard and water-repelling barrier against dirt and moisture. Grouting is a key part of the tile installation process. Aesthetically, it provides a beautifully smooth result and adds the finishing touch to your tiling job. Practically, it means you can enjoy long-lasting tiles that perform as they should, rather than becoming damaged by dirt, debris and water over time. If you choose to skip the tile grouting process, it can impact the integrity of the tile adhesive, causing them to come loose and need replacing. All Mapei grouts deliver premium performance, but they aren’t necessarily all equal. Some Mapei tile grouts boast different properties, making them better suited for use in particular environments.

If after washing with water you can still see a slight film left on the surface of the tile, we recommend using Mapei Kerapoxy cleaner to remove any remaining grout residue the day after grouting. In areas that may need added protection against stains and chemicals, such as countertops or high-traffic areas, we’d recommend investing in the Mapei Kerapoxy or Mapei Kerapoxy CQ grout. Both tile grouts provide exceptional resistance to acids and boast stress-free cleanability, meaning you can keep your grout lines looking clean and colourful with ease. Applying glitter grout doesn’t require any special techniques, as it can be applied the same way you would a standard grout using a grout float to push it into the tile joints and a damp sponge to clean off any excess residue. The colours available in this range are resistant to ultraviolet rays, too, so there’s also no concern about fading over time - and the Kerapoxy CQ also features coated quartz, making sure grout retains its original colour when cleaned.Apply the grout: load grout mixture onto your grout float and generously apply it to the gaps between the tiles. Using diagonal and firm strokes across the tile joints, make sure you press the grout fully into the grooves so it’s filled to the top and evenly distributed. To ensure complete coverage, we’d suggest applying grout to small areas, working your way logically along. Glitter grout looks particularly pretty used alongside shiny glass mosaics, quartz tiles and tiles with a polished finish, but in truth you can use them with any tile you choose. Of course, with our Mapei grouts you aren’t limited to neutral hues, you can also use colourful shades in creative ways to make your tiles really pop out. From cool space blue and dreamy turquoise to sunny yellow and violet, embrace the beauty of bold grout colours to your heart’s content.

This means, when choosing the best grout for your tiling project, you’ll need to consider the specific needs of the job. For example, interior decoration projects where you’re concerned with aesthetics alone will likely lead you to choose a different option than that of practical outdoor tile installations. If you are installing one of our hard-wearing outdoor tiles, you'll need a grout that’s fully equipped to handle exposure to increased moisture and dirt, as well as extreme temperature fluctuations between the seasons.

Fixing your tiles in place is just one part of the tiling process. They also need a finishing sealing application to provide them with the best possible protection to ensure they stay in situ and look their best for longer. When applying grout to tiles, try to compact the glitter grout into the joints as much as possible, so that a full joint of product is achieved. Remove excess grout: with a dry sponge, wipe away any excess grout to make sure all the gaps are completely filled. Make sure you don’t scrub hard with the sponge though, as this could pull grout out of the grooves.Designed to add extra sparkle to even the plainest wall or floor tiles, glitter tile grout guarantees your tile space has a luxurious feel. After filling all of the joints with grout, remove any excess grout from the tile surfaces by sweeping over the rubber float diagonally across tiles, at a 45 degree angle. At this point, you must take care to only remove grout from the surface and not any grout that you have spent time adding to the tile joints.
