Customer Reviews for Custom Building Products Fusion Pro #641 Cool White 1 gal. Single Component Grout

I have done several tile jobs around the home and in my rental units. I really enjoyed using this product it spread easy and filled the grout space nicely, the no mixing is a real bonus, cleaning as you go was also easier. Not needing to seal the grout is a big bonus as well.

This is my first experience with this product and I’m not very happy yet. I grouted the shower walls and floor and noticed the next day a considerable amount of little blow holes mainly in the floor. Weird. Any recommendations on how to avoid this? I still have the main floor to grout tomorrow and would hope to see a better result. This product isn’t cheap and I was hoping the results would corespond to the price. I am a Remodeling contractor for 31 years. Please get back to me and I hope that I can change my rating because I don’t like bashing something without research first Garry

I picked this grout as we have used it before and it states that it doesn't need to be sealed. That is true but seal it anyway as the white has a tendency to get dingy but this is more stain resistant than other grout. It goes on easy and looks nice when it is dry. Sometimes the darker colors are not mixed well and we had, in this last bucket of linen color, some yellow streaks in the grout. We just stirred it in better and there was no problem.

Chose this product for a high-traffic laundry room because of stated durability and stain-proof qualities. Application is different than traditional grout, but there is a decent video on YouTube showing technique. Finished product looks great. Time will tell if it holds up well.

I like that the product has a built in sealer, however the product is very difficult to clean up. Creates excessive time in a small area. I Will seek alternative options in future jobs. The one good thing was excellent color match between packaging.

The perfect color and worth not going with my third choice that was stocked in store. Have used this product before and love that it's easy to clean. Only downfall is having to do small areas at a time and immediately cleaning as you go.

The color of the actual product is nothing like the colors shown on the label and on the website, both of which are the same off-white color, and which would have been perfect for my tiles. The actual color turned out to be as white as a blank sheet of copy paper. I am totally disappointed by the result, but too late to do anything about it. Also, nowhere on the label does it mention that this is SANDED grout. I specifically wanted unsanded grout for this application, due to small joint size and better cleanability. I rate this product 1 star due to poor marketing controls.

No sealing required! Follow the directions and you should have no problem using this product. I first used this product in August 2017 on a bathroom floor project. I am now using the ProFusion Single Component grout in a shower surround.

Great 1 step product!

This product worked great in my bathroom.

This product is good quality and all in one (grout, sealer, and color). With that being said, because it's all in one, it's harder to clean the residue off the tile when installing. I found it easiest to remove by doing small areas, 2-3 tiles at a time and running the moist sponge over until the tile was clean of residue. Now to paint the walls and put in new crown molding!

So easy to use and so far very happy with the result. Applies like regular grout, but no need to seal after (a welcomed break for the arms). Love the color choices, bright white on the walls and charcoal on the floor. Nice grout work makes all the difference in a tile job, and this stuff makes that part even easier. Also, no mixing means the texture is consistent throughout. If you have a lot of surface to cover, consider many smaller tubs rather than big ones to keep it from drying out as you work.

This produce is so much better than traditional grout. It's easy to use and faster than than other grout. Finish is smooth and no haze to fuss with! So far stain resistant as promised.

WOW! This sets up fast! This product is very hard backbreaking work! You will love this or hate this product. I read all reviews and was forwarned. I gambled with this grout because I’m using a light colored grout. Most all light grouts turn dark over time that is why I used this Fusion Pro. Only time will tell whether it was worth the expense and backbreaking work. You must seal your tiles before installing grout. If you go with this stuff I would get several micro fiber sponges. Don’t use regular sponges, too wet. Make sure you moisten tile first, not too wet. Only do very small areas. Too dry and it sets up immediately, too wet and you will not have beautiful grout lines. Rinse micro sponges almost dry. Rough wipe first then come back with clean sponges. Watch the manufacturer video and print out their installation guide. Read everything about this product before you start. Purchase non-cement grout haze remover, you will need it. I’m not sure if I would use this stuff again. But if it holds up over time it would be worth it, but that will take years from now. Good luck on your project. Mine was 100 sq ft. Almost killed me but I’m 63. Keep looking up.

I would recommend this for small jobs. It dries to fast for big jobs and is hard to clean up if it left to long on tile.

We tile many times a year and thought we would try it for speed of premixed and "stain resistant" claim. We have used many products before both bag and premixed. This 1st time use wad not acceptable, we have had countless sinkholes after doing 1st wipe down. This being new construction is hard to find that much clean water for a 90 sq ft project to keep haze off tile. We actually opted to just let set and after 2hr mark we used tile cleaner to get haze off. Very disappointed with this product on their claims and price tag. We tried to leave this with a nice tough finish grout and now we hope it does not fail over time. You would be better to buy bag of grout and pay money to rent a mixer if you did not have one.

Grout worked well easy to spread, good consistency and good color. No mixing required. Clean up as soon as possible this stuff dries hands and tools so use lots of water and gloves.

This stuff sets up extremely quick and it does not clean up as well as regular mix up grout. I gave this stuff a shot and now it i'm going to have to hand chisel and scrub my hearth pad to clean up the edges. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this unless you're a pro. But lets face it, if you're a pro, you're not reading these reviews. I used a natural stone tile with irregularities and it was nearly impossibly to clean them up. I switched to regular grout mix and it cleaned up just fine and laid down easy. Also, this grout doesn't smooth out very well with a float, you need a good damp sponge to smooth it out but then the grout haze goes all over. I used a bad to fill the joints and it went in nicely but that was the only thing that was nice about it.

Reasonably priced. Easy to work with. Looks amazing!

The benefit of this product over and above all other pre-mixed grout products, is that it's stain resistant. I've re-done two homes with this grout, and not once has this grout ever stained. I can literally wash away mold from the shower with nothing more than a sponge and water. It really is that good. Second benefit of course is it being pre-mixed. For a home owner / weekend warrior, this makes it much easier for us to do a little bit as time permits, and seal it up at the end of the day.

Great product! Easy to use and looks great! We used it on the floor, shower walls, and accent.

Easy to work with. Leaves first a slight purple haze before it darkens to black. Perhaps worth to include in instructions. End result is excellent. Recommended.

I am extremely pleased with this.

Perfect! Color, texture, ease of use... There is nothing to complain about with this product. Definitely going to use this for all future projects!

The Grout was awesome and looks beautiful after my contractor installed it with Merola White Subway tile.

Worked great on are backsplash

I absolutely love the results but it definetly took more effort to get into grout lines than other grouts I’ve used in the past. It also takes more effort to clean off the tiles after grouting.

Never again!!! The worst grout I have ever used. It took all my arm strength to spread this stuff on the floor (12x12 tiles). The grout float was useless. I had to resort to using a plastic spreader to force it into the lines. And even though I cleaned every tile one at a time as I worked, it left a shiny finish on my matte tiles...heaven only knows how long that will take to clean.(see my photo) The suggestion below of dampening the tiles first is a good one. Too bad I didn't know that before I started! I am going to try to switch products mid-project and hope I can get a color close enough to get away with doing that. The fact that it doesn't require sealer is moot, because sealing is the easiest part of the job anyway. Of course the results look good to the naked eye...but that has never been a problem with any other grout I have used. I am rarely this upset with a product.

Been a month since I used this to grout the shower/tub. So far no problems. The color is what I expected. I was leery of using this grout based on neg reviews on the application. So, I grouted a small 2'X3' area first to get the hang of how to grout Fusion. Here's what I learned: 1. Stop grouting after 3 minutes. 2. Start wiping off the Fusion right away (don't wait!) 3. Use two buckets, one for the initial sponging and the other for the microfibre final cleaning. 4. A nylon scrub pad is very useful in removing dried Fusion. 5. Finally, use a semi-dry Microfibre cloth to remove haze. Then start another 3 minute grouting. Half way, I ran out of Fusion for the floor and had to use regular grout for the rest. The Fusion was quicker to apply and easier than the regular grout. I will use Fusion for future projects.

Great product. Easy to work with.
