Prism™ SureColor™ Grout from Custom® Building Products launches a new industry standard for grout with its CustomLite™ lightweight technology, color consistency, and stain resistance. Prism grout's innovative formula eliminates efflorescence and shading regardless of environmental conditions or type of tile. Thirty percent lighter in weight than standard grouts, Prism is easier for professionals to carry and use on the job. A lightweight cellular aggregate composed of 100 percent recycled glass spheres replaces the sand typically found in cement-based materials, creating a smoother, creamier texture that is easier to work with while maintaining the same strength in a lighter-weight formula. |
