Grout Boost - has anyone used this?
Comments (22)Not worth the cost for couple of reasons! When this additive is used to mix "sanded"grout , regardless of the shade, the mix is inconsistent. It can also lighten the shade up to 3 times lighter than the color printed on the bag . Most importantly , like a previous member stated, it doesn't seal the grout as you would expect! You will still have stained grout in heavy traffic areas and most certainly in countertops and backsplashes. I contract with one of the big box home improvement retailers and know first hand that this product falls short of expectation. It may have its uses, however I have not had the pleasure of experiencing a successful outcome....See MorePlease advise re: whitest white gouts-is Avalanche too pink?
Comments (18)Thanks for the advice! I was actually going to use the Mapei pre-mixed and ready to use flexcolorCQ tub of grout to avoid any color variances. It comes at a price premium, but that seems to be worth it to remove any unexpected surprises. Do you have any experience with that version of the product?...See MoreHas anyone used colored grout?
Comments (5)I looked into buying a deep cobalt blue grout for a bathroom and saw a fair bit of feedback that the color was inconsistent if you used too much water when you mixed it or when you wiped it down (an overly wet sponge would pull the color from the grout). It seemed a little too prone to user error for me, so I went with a pale grey grout. I loved the look in pictures, just didn't want to take the chance....See MoreGROUT HELP -Does anyone know which TEC gray grout is like Mapei Frost?
Comments (13)Thanks! And how exciting! I’m in the same boat and never thought grout would be what stresses me out so much. Do you mind if I ask what color tile it’s going with? We’re doing a mosaic type matte black backsplash in our kitchen and thinking to pair with either sterling or Silverado. Also scared the contrast will be too crazy. Congrats on your new home!!...See Morehappy2learn
