This will help you to get a feel for just how glittery you like it and whether or not you would like to add more.) The second type is ready mixed glitter grout. This is grout that has been already pre-mixed with glitter. While this type may cost more it is ready to go right out of the container so there is no extra work needed and is just as easy to work with as standard grout. 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.

Complete The Effect: Glitter reflects light so if you can, you may want to position your lighting deliberately so that it is directly hitting your tiles and spotlighting them. Installing your tiles where they get natural light from a window can also work too. Where To Buy Glitter Grout Each bag will come with specific directions on how much glitter you need to add to how much grout. If you would like to do a bit of DIY you definitely don’t need to be a pro to use an additive on your own, even if you only have minimal experience. While you do have to mix them, additives are inexpensive, easy to clean up after using and allow you to mix to your exact preferences.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.

Designed to add extra sparkle to even the plainest wall or floor tiles, glitter tile grout guarantees your tile space has a luxurious feel. Imagine your tiles surrounded by grout lines that are sparkling and shimmering in the light. Glitter grout will turn your installation into a glamorous and glistening display but you will need to know the basics things before getting started. There are actually two types. The first is really a glitter grout additive. This variety is usually sold in bags and is mixed with your standard grout before it is applied.On a slow setting, use the mechanical stirrer to mix together the two components of the grout. This should be stirred for 3-4 minutes to combine well into a smooth paste. Apply the grout: load grout mixture onto your grout float and generously apply it to the gaps between the tiles. Using diagonal and firm strokes across the tile joints, make sure you press the grout fully into the grooves so it’s filled to the top and evenly distributed. To ensure complete coverage, we’d suggest applying grout to small areas, working your way logically along. 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. Prep the area: first and foremost, make sure the adhesive has fully dried, then carefully carve out any excess adhesive, tile spacers, dust and other debris between the tile joints, using a vacuum at the final stage to remove as much as possible.

Using the Kerapoxy cleaning spray is really easy to use, simply apply to the wall with the spray action bottle and leave on the tile surface for a sufficient amount of time, to soften the surface material. 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. Test the grout on a small area or edge of a spare tile to see how the glitter looks before committing to sealing the full area The only thing you need to decide is which glitter grout additive colour best complements your chosen tiles. Do you want a subtle shimmer or a striking contrast?Speaking of grout colours, you’ll find our Mapei grouts come in a vibrant array of colours, helping you to find an option that suits your tiling project. Whether you want to colour match or contrast your tile grout against your chosen tiles, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Pink, red, blue, and green glitter grout too, are all popular choices. There are even metallic colors such as silver, bronze, and gold glitter grout which can really make an impression. Some companies also offer certain colors in holographic glitter that will sparkle with a rainbow-like effect in the light. Where Can You Use It? 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.
