Customer Reviews for Custom Building Products Fusion Pro #115 Platinum 1 gal. Single Component Stain Proof Grout

This is great quality grout that is easy to use. I love the color too! It has a nice grey tone. Looks fabulous with my newly installed peel and stick tile!

A little expensive but worth the extra money. You dont have to seal or do anything special to maintain this grout, worth every penny in my opinion. All the tile in my house I have used this brand of grout.

Good grout to work with and it really sticks. Wipes up easily and does not leave a lot of haze. Be sure to wipe off of tiles within about 5 or 10 minutes as any grout left will be tough to get off. Gloves are helpful as well as it sticks to your skin and fingernails and requires serious scrubbing. Color is real close to sample on tub.

This is a great all purpose grout, although it is sanded it did not scratch my glass mosaic tile backsplash. Follow the instructions and work in small sections no larger than 2' x 2'. Keep wet rag over the container as you work. This product sets up fast. Use wet microfiber cloth for first pass, then grout sponge, clean wet microfiber cloth again, paper towel then buff with cheesecloth. Finish perimeter with matching caulk and results are professional!

This product is a little more expensive than most grouts, but it is they easiest, quickest, most consistent texture, and color grout I have ever used!! Really like this product, and would recommend it to everyone, but especially do-it-yourself people

I did not even want to give this product one star! I purchased the gray color grout from Home Depot a few years ago. We had our bathroom completely remodeled. We hired someone to do the work. The grout in our shower is literally crumbling out. Forget trying to do any cleaning with a brush of any kind. It just falls out in clumps. Even where it is not falling out it is rough and gritty when you rub your finger over it. I contacted their customer service and have been dealing with Art. All he has done is try to find fault on our end. I even sent back the product to be tested in their lab and of course they found NOTHING wrong with their product. It took me contacting him each time and it was October when it went for testing and just today after I emailed him Again, he sent me the results. No apologies or sorry for your disappointment or recognition that LOTS of people are having issues with their product! I am so disappointed and hurt by their lack of consideration. I guess this product is only good if used in an area where it doesn’t get wet. So much for their Lifetime Garranty printed right on the front! If you have a problem with this product than you will not get any satisfaction from Art at all! Somehow you will be made to feel like you did not install it properly or you used the wrong cleaning product etc. I am just sick over this!

Wanted to post my own review after reading some of the scarier reviews about filming and difficulty of installation. Did a 3x6 white subway tile DIY backsplash in my kitchen with 1/16" tile spacing, and used the Fusion Pro Pewter grout. First time tiling / grouting so didn't really have any prior experience nor expectations. I found the Fusion Pro really easy to work with, and looking at yesterday's handiwork today, do not see any film to remove. The key is to work in small sections (maybe 2x2 feet or so) and then immediately hit the area with a damp sponge then microfiber cloth to remove the excess grout from the tiles. It wiped away from the subway tile surface with no issues, and the remaining grout lines look fantastic! I did notice difficulty in spreading the grout around, seemed like a lot of it would fall and hit the plastic covering I had over the countertop. Maybe that's normal for a grout installation though to have some of it fall. I would just scoop back up the bits I could and squish them together and plop them back on the float. Any time I accidentally hit the sides of my white cabinets / hardware / etc I was able to wipe it off with a damp rag. Even got some on my laminate plank floor that just wiped up without issues. I was able to do an approx 30 sqft section of tile with ~ 1" depth of grout remaining in the qt tub that I'll save for touch-ups or repair work. Since I have no prior grout experience, I'm not sure how this compares with other grout options on the market...but I would not hesitate to buy this again for another tiling project. It really did go on quite easily and the results look fantastic, and I feel accomplished as a one-man DIY team to have done the backsplash with such great results :)

Great product. Easy to work with. Read the directions. A microfiber cloth is way easier than a sponge :)

Worked well for grouting marble mini-brick backsplash. The trick is to work in smaller areas and lots of (dry) sponging. I would work much smaller area than normal - sponge, then wrap a slightly damp microfiber towel (wet and wring out all water) onto grout float and make a pass over, then follow up with a completely dry micro fiber towel over grout float. I had zero haze using this method and cheap Amazon basics microfiber towels.

Used this for my first full tile installation on my new outdoor kitchen/BBQ. Armed with an inexpensive tile saw, the proper mastic and spacers and this grout the job is a total success.

Other reviewers weren't kidding when they said it dries fast! you can't use this grout like other types I've used. directions say you have 1 to 4 mins and they aren't kidding. I found that an 18x 20" area is as big as you can go. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS GROUT and you will be very happy.

This grout is like no other...I have used it on customers tile work as well as in my own home. I have installed this gorut in dozens and dozens of tile jobs, I use nothing but! Many tile contractors avoid the newer types of grout because it takes longer to clean up...truth is they are just plain lazy! The positive aspects of this grout far outweigh the time to learn and properly handle this grout. This grout remains flexible, never needs sealing and is very consistent in color...who could ask for more! Yes, it is a bit quirky...but once you learn it, it is very easy to install! ASk for the best...get Fusion Pro Grout!

I am DIY and have done 1000 sq feet with this product. I would definitely recommend using grout release beforehand which is inexpensive and easy apply. A contractor used this for a backsplash behind a kitchen faucet. It has been a year and it still looks brand new. I think this product is superior and well worth the price versus down the road grout maintenance. Thanks.

Great color for Concrete colored tile and has some good advantages compared to powdered grout. More expensive compared to powdered grout, but nice for flexibility (if one may need to work over several days), no mixing mess when working in clean environments, and no need for sealing. The brochure color swatch indicated a much darker color than the swatch on the container label. The installed color fell in between - worked well for my install, but take care to test, if precise color is needed. Work-ability and moisture content were about right - maybe a little bit wetter that I would have mixed, but should give longer life in the container. I'm happy with the results and would recommend the product.

Some degree of batch-to-batch color variation is expected, but just had to rework half a shower due to an absurd amount of color difference between quarts of Fusion Pro SNOW WHITE grout. "Color Perfect" on the label is really false advertising.

I have used various types of grout over the years. This seems to have the same properties as two part epoxy grout without all the mixing problems and very short working time. It goes on easy and then cures through evaporation. I found that working small areas works best. Follow the instructions and let it stand for a few minutes after striking off the excess before carefully scrubbing with a damp-dry grout sponge to clean the surfaces and smooth the grout. I added an extra step after sponging and wiping with a micro fiber cloth - polishing with a clean, dry paper towel. I am very pleased with the results!

This product is time sensitive kind of tough to work with also one of the best products on the market. quite often on a dark color grout is washed out by the installer rinsing too soon .... this product keeps its color ... forever Follow instructions and use microfiber cloth over a sponge

I used this grout on a recommendation from a professional tiler . The professional suggested this type of caulk for use in applications where hard water problems are present. (even with softener and rust filters we have our showers turn yellow..yuk!) This is the first shower I have ever tiled...usually I have laid flooring and backsplash as a lady do-it-yourselfer. I see where it dries faster and you need to work in smaller areas at a time. I used a sponge to wipe off excess and then for a final step used the microfiber cloth as recommended on the grout container. I did let it cure the 7 days they recommended before using it too. I found it to be a great grout. Just follow directions and you will have good results too! I dry down the shoer every use amnd havae had NO yellowing yet!!! Yea!! Love my new shower which has dreamline shower pan and dreamline doors too if you want that info. Love everything!!!

Smooth, easy to apply and looks great.

Easy to work easy to clean up

I used this for regrouting a kitchen tile countertop. This seems to be grout with a latex paint-style additive. Having a spray bottle of water set to mist allowed for more working time. It cleans up extremely easily from porcelain tile, first with a scrub brush, then with a paper towel, then let dry an hour or two, and hit the haze with a microfiber towel. It says no sealing needed, and given the latex binder, I don't think a traditional grout sealer would ever work on it, because all of the silica would already be coated with a latex film. Cleanup of tools in the sink was similar to what you might expect for latex paint with a dose of sand.

The main thing i have learned with this product is, dontdwaitd to wipe down because it dries up very fast. I was doing 12x12 tiles, and basically applied grout to 2 tiles or about 4 ft of grout, then did a wipe down. When crossing over the grout, wipe soft don't drag. Also use plenty of clean water, keep changing the water. By doing it this way, I didn't have to go back for a final wipe. The grout turned out great.

I used this for a tile back-splash in my kitchen for behind the stove and other dry areas. I have never tiled before or used traditional grout, so I can only tell you my impressions of this. After watching videos from the manufacturer and reading how it's different from regular grout I was still surprised working with it. It comes out of the tube dryer than the company's own videos show. They show grout like soft butter. But I found it dry and gritty. As I tried to float the grout around, it clumped up and was not as easy to spread. So although they recommend doing smaller areas and cleaning up sooner, I found myself doing very little at a time. But...once water hit the grout from the sponge, it was pretty easy to shape the grout lines and clean up. I used a sponge and micro-fiber like they said. After a time, I was getting used to it and moved on to larger areas. I had white on white, so seeing any haze will be harder. I initially wiped down the tile after about 15 minutes. Went back about 30 minutes later with the damp microfiber to wipe down again. I'll check it one more time later. There was a little smell to it, but nothing that strong. I would use this again. I bought the 1 quart for about 25 Sq feet and used less than half, maybe a third at the most.

This premixed grout is phenominal. I am normally not a big fan of the “premixed” anything but in terms of this product, it is my go-to everytime! It is very simple to use, simply smudge and whipe, then repeat the process for deeper grout lines. The product contains some stain resistance and can cover a lot of surface area with just one tub

This product is great besides the grout haze of not cleaned immediately it is very hard to get off but it has sealer in it and I highly recommend this product

I have used Fusion Pro for several projects in my home and this is the best grout available...period. Follow the directions and wet down the area you intend to grout first and it will spread like butter! Only grout a small area at a time and keep several buckets with clean water and sponges available and you will be pleased.

Great product easy to apply

Love this product. We do tile for a living and I only use this grout.

The product cured way to rapidly, it did not spread very well I thought that maybe the container had gotten open somehow at the store. My suspicions were correct as when I went to get another container at the store the flow of the new grout was much better but it still cured way to rapidly. The grout haze was very difficult to get off had to use acid and razor blades. I have done lots of tile jobs but none of them have been this difficult. The thin set made by the same company is also difficult to work with. Next time I won't do what works for me and that is mix my own grout and my own mortar to the consistency that I like and I can assure its freshness.

Worked out well, just the color I was looking for!
