Laticrete PermaColor Grout — High-Performance Polymer-Fortified Tile Grout
Laticrete PermaColor Grout is a next-generation cementitious grout designed for residential, commercial, interior, exterior, and even submerged applications. Featuring the latest Water Dispersion Technology (WDT), this advanced formula ensures optimal hydration during mixing, resulting in stronger, denser, and more durable grout joints.
The improved 2023 formulation provides 20% greater strength and 30% better stain resistance compared to previous versions, delivering longer-lasting performance in high-traffic and demanding environments. Its enhanced color consistency eliminates blotchiness and reduces efflorescence, keeping installations looking clean, uniform, and vibrant.
With Microban protection built in, PermaColor actively resists mold and mildew growth on the grout surface. Ideal for joints from 1/16" to 1/2", it spreads and cleans easily, sets quickly, and requires no sealing — offering faster, cleaner, and more reliable installations.
Packaged in a durable new vertical bag design and formulated without sand for a safer work environment, Laticrete PermaColor Grout is a professional-grade solution that exceeds ANSI A118.7 standards and meets ISO 13007 and EN 13888 (CG2WA) requirements.
