BAL launches new grout-effect sealant

BAL have launched a new innovative “Grout-Effect Sealant” for seamless transitions.

BAL Micromax Grout-Effect Sealant is formulated with a unique technology which provides a textured, matt-finish that blends perfectly with your grout – no more shiny, stand-out high gloss sealant!

Colour-matched to BAL Micromax3 ECO Grouts, it provides a uniform finish in colour AND texture, across all joints; whether they are grouted tile joints, sealed perimeter joints, movement joints or internal corners.

BAL Micromax Grout-Effect Sealant is waterproof with excellent adhesion and is perfect for sealing between tiles and other materials including sanitary, acrylic, fibreglass, glass, glazed tiles, porcelain and painted surfaces in dry and wet interior and exterior environments.

It can even be used in high-traffic areas and is also perfect for external tiling installations for example when sealing between 20cm porcelain tiles and drain grates.

BAL Grout-Effect Sealant is also formulated with long-lasting Microban® antimicrobial protection against black mould – which provides market-leading protection for hygiene areas when subject to the usual cleaning regimes.

Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing at BAL, said the innovation was something that the industry had been calling out for, particularly for soft movement joints.

“When it comes to soft movement joints and perimeter joints, customers have only had the sealant option of traditional silicone sealant products that all provide a very shiny and glossy finish, which stands out against the grout joints,” he said.

“Our new technology will allow tiling projects to have a sealant solution that meets British Standards for movement and perimeter joints and looks like the adjoining grout joint for a seamless effect across the tiled area.

“The grout-effect sealant can be used on all floors and walls and is a unique technology to provide a seamless matt finish that is colour matched to our Micromax3 ECO Grout range.”

BAL Micromax Grout-Effect Sealant will be available from BAL stockists, with a total of25 contrasting or complementary colour tones, providing a seamless colour-matched grout and sealant solution for every tile colour or type.
