Mapei Ultracolor Plus Sand - 5kg

Yes, Mapei Ultracolor Plus Sand is suitable for both floor and wall applications with porcelain tiles, making it a versatile choice for kitchen or bathroom floors. Once applied, the grout is set to light foot traffic in approximately 3 hours, though you should allow additional curing time before placing furniture or subjecting the floor to heavy use.

The warm, neutral sand colour pairs particularly well with natural stone-effect and beige-toned porcelain tiles commonly used on kitchen floors, blending the joints subtly into the overall look. For coverage, use the guide of 1 kg per 1.33 m² based on 100 mm x 100 mm x 8 mm tiles with 3 mm joints – larger format porcelain tiles with narrower joints will go further per kilogram, so calculate your floor area and adjust for your specific tile dimensions before ordering.

Mapei Ultracolor Plus Sand is confirmed as suitable for use over underfloor heating systems, which is especially important when used with porcelain floor tiles that conduct heat efficiently. The formulation is designed to remain stable through the repeated heating and cooling cycles of an underfloor heating system, so you can use it with confidence on a heated porcelain floor in a kitchen or bathroom.
