mapei grout
Screwfix are selling a small bag of
MAPEI BUILDFIX FLEXIBLE WALL & FLOOR GROUT IVORY 2.5KG which is probably what I need, but I cannot find a colour chart. This grout is not on their website, the closest being Mapei Ultracolor. The Buildfix stuff only seems to be available from diy places like wickes, b&q and screwfix, but not from the tiler type suppliers. Anyone know what the Buildfix stuff is ? A cheaper DIY version, old stock of a previous Mapei product, etc. ? Simon. |

Don't know, but it does seem to be limited to retail type shops and gets little mention elsewhere. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Response from Mapei: The grout you mention is named for buildfix the production date of the product is printed on the side of the packaging . The product on Mapei website is ultracolor plus, hope this information is of use to you. Not exactly sure what "buildfix" is though - the wonders of modern branding !. Something funny about that PDF colour chart - the ivory is decidedly grey. The colour on the packet on screwfix website is - well - more like ivory. Simon. |

And on the Mapei website, the Ultra Color plus has now new colours - the closest to Ivory appears to be Jasmine. I suppose this all means - go to the tile place and check the colours. Simon. |
