FAQs

How much glitter additive do I need per amount of grout?

You should use a ratio of 100g (3.5 oz) of glitter grout additive for every 1kg (2 lbs) of standard tile grout.

Can this glitter additive be used for outdoor tiling?

The product description focuses on interior applications like kitchens and bathrooms. While it is fade-resistant, its suitability for outdoor use is not specified and may depend on environmental exposure.

Is the glitter safe to use in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, the glitter additive is certified non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free and is waterproof, making it safe and suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I clean grout that has the glitter additive mixed in?

Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners which might damage the glitter finish over time.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can I mix different colours of glitter additive together?

While not explicitly stated, mixing colours is generally possible to achieve custom shades, but it may affect the consistency of the final grout colour.

What glitter sizes are available?

The glitter is available in sizes ranging from Micro Fine to Chunky.

Troubleshooting

Glitter appears unevenly distributed

Ensure thorough mixing of the glitter additive with the grout. For future applications, stir more vigorously or consider a slightly longer mixing time.

Grout is difficult to apply after mixing

Check the ratio of glitter to grout. If too much glitter was added, it might affect the grout's consistency. Try adding a small amount of water to the grout mixture to adjust consistency, or use the recommended ratio next time.

Sparkle seems less vibrant than expected

The intensity of the sparkle depends on lighting conditions and the amount of glitter used. Ensure the area is well-lit, and consider using a larger glitter size or a darker grout colour for a more pronounced effect.

Excess glitter residue on tiles after drying

Gently polish the tiles with a clean, dry cloth. If stubborn residue remains, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the grout lines. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
