So you don’t want to try and make your own glitter grout from regular glitter. Colors That Span The Spectrum

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. 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. Wipe down the tiles

Preparing and applying your glitter grout

A Glimmering Overload: If you would like as much sparkle as possible you can double down by using tiles that have a glittery or shimmering effect themselves. Some glass tiles are actually made with glitter inside the body of the tile. Mother of pearl tiles are another reflective way to go and are famous for their natural iridescence. 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.

Grouting tiles once they’ve been fixed in place is an essential step in tile installation, but this all-important sealant material doesn’t have to be all about the practical side of things. Modern-day grouts come in a broad spectrum of colour options. But, if you’re looking for a finish that will add instant glamour to tiled areas, glitter grout additives are the way to go. 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. And of course, don’t overlook using glitter grout for tiles on the floor either. When using it you aren’t limited to a specific style, regardless of whether you are working with a space or trying to create a space that is more vintage, modern, contemporary, or even something rustic. In our third video, Craig takes you through the process of laying Quartz stone tiles and then grouting them with Mapei Epoxy Grout with Glitter. 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.

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. The good news is that our glitter grout additive for tiles can be combined with any type of grout (and even paint) to provide a water-resistant, anti-mould sealing solution that can be applied to almost any area of your home. Using a floor protection sheet, be sure that all flooring around the area you wish to grout is covered and protected from spillages. Prepare the glitter grout For a cool finish pearl white, silver and grey could be the way to go. Or why not use warm rose gold, sand gold or even a funky purple glitter grout to create vibrant colour contrasts with your tiles? How to make glitter grout

Tile Giant tips for the best glitter grout results:

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. Once the grout is well mixed, it’s time to add the Mapei glitter! You can add 1-3 sachets of the glitter, but we recommend 2 sachets for the best glitter results! Empty the sachets into the tub of grout and work well into the mix, folding in the glitter with a spatula.

You will begin to see the grout material begin to dry on the tile surface; this means that the tiles are ready to be washed down to reveal the dry glitter grout. Using the mechanical stirrer on the same slow setting, mix the glitter slowly into the grout mixture to ensure the glitter is dispersed evenly throughout the product. Apply glitter grout to tiles Then using the edge of your float, press hard against the surface of the tile and scrape off the excess grout on both sides of your grout line.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. Smaller size rooms are an option too.
