What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this grout for exceptional color performance, ease of use, and fast drying time. The bright white and jet black options deliver striking, professional finishes that remain stable over time. Many reviewers highlight the smooth application, quick hardening, and all-in-one formulation that eliminates additional sealing. However, some report noticeable color variation between bags, and a few note the black pigment creates fine dust that can stain surfaces and tools if not handled carefully. Overall, most customers consider it an excellent choice for tile projects despite minor consistency concerns.

Purchased and used with great success! This product is nice because it already has sealer and does not need anything else.

Easy to spread and perfect for kitchen backsplash

Would Recommend

We installed Daltile "genuine stone" linen drift backsplash tile from Lowes, which is actually a beautiful and easy-to-cut marble. It looks completely different with light and dark grout, but if you go with white, you will highlight the lighter accents in the marble and create a much brighter look. This grout is unsanded, and we installed it using a standard rubber grout trowel with very few issues. It wipes off easily. It takes water slowly and then suddenly, so be very gradual when mixing it...

Epoxy Grout for Pool TIle (Yet TBD for long term)

Would Recommend

Since this is an Epoxy Grout, using it in my inground pool. Since I am in Swimming season, lower the water level as far as possible and grouted pool tile using a piping tool (icing piping) and was able to squirt into the gaps. Smoothed with fingers, let it dry anhd then used a spongs to clean up. So far look pretty good. Will do the lower part when I close my pool in fall.
