Publish Date: Wednesday, May 06, 2015

AURORA, IL…A new product by H.B. Fuller Construction Products has revolutionized grout selection, providing virtually unlimited, easy-to-mix grout color options in stock. New TEC® Skill Set™ DesignColor™ Grout, available at select Lowe’s, allows tile contractors to provide customers with more than 100 in-stock grout color choice options using 12.5 bags of universal grout base paired with interchangeable and unique color mixes. This innovative approach reduces inventory and simplifies the process of finishing any residential or commercial tiling project. 

DesignColor™ Grout requires very little preparation and 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 grout color. Then, the grout components can be mixed with Grout Boost® grout additive – no measuring required— to create a stain proof grout*. Contractors can buy the grout base bags in bulk and keep them on hand for multiple jobs, and then encourage individual clients to visit select Lowe’s to pick out their color mixes themselves. 

“We recognize that it’s easy to become frustrated when trying to find a grout color in stock. TEC® Skill Set™ is providing more than 100 grout colors in stock at retailers so that you’re always assured easy access to the grout colors your customers desire,” said RoseMary Clyburn, President of H.B. Fuller Construction Products, who manufactures TEC® Skill Set™ Grout. 

TEC® Skill Set™ DesignColor™ Grout is a universal formula that can be used on both floors and walls, sanded and unsanded applications. It meets performance requirements of both residential and commercial environments. When mixed with Grout Boost®, DesignColor™ Grout can be used in exterior applications and in wet areas, like showers and pools.
