This is a great product, i did a video with Ryan, about a month ago. Easy to use, easy to clean.
It was a great video that you did! We appreciate you trying it out. Thanks for the comment!
I f***ing LOVE this product so far! Here in Colorado I finally got my hands on it and it will be one of my main go to grouts from now on. I've installed about 5 gallons worth so far. Rated for steam showers as well. Great product!
Thanks for the feedback Branden! We appreciate you trusting in our products.
Wife and I just bought one container currently in the middle of two bathroom remodels and can't wait to have it done!
Best of luck on the project! Let us know how it turns out!
Laticrete the best product i have use after dealing with redguard and mapei
Thank you!
See this is 3 years ago. Really hoped you had a smaller size for my kitchen backsplash- less than 25 sf.
Unfortunately, this is the only size for SPECTRALOCK 1. We do have the SPECTRALOCK Pro Premium epoxy grout in smaller units!
I finally chased it down.i watched Sal and had to find it. My normal guy put me on hold for a month then I got creative and traveled a state over...my guys better do the homework before working with it.this ain't no ugly duckling.
Used my first bucket and agree that it is a game changer. Wondering if there are any plans to release it in small batches...?
I have been wondering the same thing, the current size is fine for large jobs but smaller jobs require smaller amounts especially with a 6 month shelf life opened. :)
@@petertwining5729 I had a job about 100 sq. ft. and only used a half bucket.
We have discussed this internally - the possibility of a quart size... We JUST launched this product in February, so we are working on ensuring we have enough of the current size and then we'll look into future sizes. We appreciate all the feedback!
Do you have smaller sizes yet ?@@laticrete
Wish this came in a smaller tub / more available in Canada

I just used this for a shower pebble floor this last weekend. I purchased it after seeing Sals video and how easy the install was. Do you recommend allowing it to cure before applying additional to any low or missed spots? Or can it be applied right over top?
The earlier the better.
Can spectralock 1 be applied for the tiled shower base?
Hello! Yes, SPECTRALOCK 1 can be used in shower applications, floors and walls.
How about next time showing the actual finished product by holding up the tile pallet
We’ll share this feedback with our team.
HELLO, just to verify, I am redoing my shower with pebble stone floor, with some grout lines over 1/2" in some areas. So this product will be fine to use in that application? Also does it need to be sealed? Thank you in advance
SPECTRALOCK 1 does not need to be sealed and can be used in grout joints from, 1/16" to 3/8" (2mm - 9mm). Please review our Product Datasheet for more info cdn.laticrete.com/~/media/product-documents/product-data-sheets/ds-36589
Used it today for the first time. Easiest grout to clean up for sure and stays in the joint better. But the color in the bucket is way way off. Hope it cures to the correct color.
The color typically cures lighter than what you see in the bucket.
Well that’s no good since light pewter is a silver color and it’s a almond white in the bucket. Well it’s been two days and about 4/4 of the floor have cured to the pewter color. The slab is a little cold
Im installing 12x24 porcelain polished tiles either 1/8 or 1/16 grout line will this product work....thank you
Yes - As stated in the product data sheet, this product will go from 1/16" grout joint all the way to 3/8". Here is the data sheet for reference:
cdn.laticrete.com/~/media/product-documents/product-data-sheets/ds-36589
How about doing a video with this grout on a vertical surface, like a shower wall or backsplash? Everybody always shows a horizontal install which is way easier to clean than vertical tiles, holding a microfiber towel on a vertical surface & keeping it flat for the second wash is way more difficult than doing it on a flat surface
Thanks for the feedback Sam! We're passing along your suggestion to our team.
How soon before it’s ready for rain on exterior applications?
At the bare minimum, 72 hours at 70 degrees. Colder temperatures would require a longer cure. Every 18 degrees cooler would double that cure time.
Hi I hav a tumble marble in my shower and some areas the grout cracked. Can I use your product on top of existing grout or I have to remove old grout?
For any re-grouting application is always best to remove the existing grout at least half the depth of the tile and reapply. Once that is done you can certainly use SPECTRALOCK® 1 to re-grout.
Can I use this product on mosaic marble sheets and 6”x12” marble on my shower ?
Yes, it is rated for natural stone.
LATICRETE International, Inc. thanks!!
Is this safe to use on glass mosaic?
It is a sanded grout, so we do recommend doing a test area first.
Does spectrolock1 come in sanded and unsanded versions
No, sorry it does not.
Can this be used with porcelain floor tile? I looked at the data sheet but it says for use with ceramic, stone and glass.
Yes, this can be used with porcelain tile.
How long does it need to dry/cure when installed in a shower floor before the shower can be used?
The longer the better but typically 3 days at 70f. Note that joint depth and width can play a factor on curing times. If at all possible we always recommend at least 4 days before exposing it to water.
@@laticrete thank you for this important info.
I just applied it to my shower floor last week and found a pdf online from your company that says to wait 10 days when applied to direct/submerged water applications.
Is this available in India?
Sorry, it is not.
and how long does it take to dry before we can use shower.
Here is the data sheet. See the working properties chart. cdn.laticrete.com/~/media/product-documents/product-data-sheets/ds-36589
can you get this outside the states ??? i am in new zealand
Sorry, this product is currently only available in North America.
how much area does a bucket like this cover?
Here is the data sheet for coverage amounts: cdn.laticrete.com/~/media/product-documents/product-data-sheets/ds-36589
