H.B. Fuller Construction Products Introduces DIY-Friendly DesignColor™ Grout

AURORA, IL…A new product by H.B. Fuller Construction Products has revolutionized grout selection. As if they are shopping for paint, consumers can visit the TEC^® Skill Set™ Grout Design Center to discover the perfect grout color to complement their home design. The Grout Design Center invites customers to peruse a vibrant display of 100+ grout colors—making it easier to find a grout color in stock that matches tile, furniture and paint selections in their homes.

Do-it-yourselfers can easily create the perfect TEC^® Skill Set™ grout color for their home with interchangeable and unique color mixes, which are referenced on the grout color cards in the Grout Design Center. This innovative approach empowers do-it-yourselfers to bring an artistic, design-oriented approach to their tile projects.

TEC^® Skill Set™ DesignColor™ Grout ensures homeowners can achieve their design vision—all the way down to the grout lines. Modern colors like Raven, Chromium and Ocean Deep complement metallic tiles – for chic, edgy designs, while Butter Cream, Praline and Gingerbread accentuate more traditional selections.

“We recognize that it’s easy to become frustrated when trying to find a grout that matches tile selections. That’s why we created a grout innovation that makes grout selection fun, easy and accommodating to a design-savvy homeowner,” said RoseMary Clyburn, President of H.B. Fuller Construction Products, who manufactures TEC^® Skill Set™ Grout.

DesignColor™ Grout requires no measuring, removing the guesswork from grouting. Users simply pair each 12.5 lb. plastic bag of DesignColor™ Grout universal grout base with two individually packaged color mix cups to create the perfect grout color. Then, the grout components can be mixed with Grout Boost^® grout additive – no measuring required— to create a stain proof grout*.

The grout can be used on both floors and walls, sanded and unsanded applications, and in wet areas like showers. In as little as 24 hours, DesignColor™ Grout hardens and the finishing touches to a tile design project are complete.
