New, Cobranded Portfolio, New Colors & Discontinued Materials
Sika continues its mission to increase value for your business by enhancing the brand positioning, availability, and features of its product solutions. We therefore announce two improvements to our tile grout product category.
New, Cobranded Portfolio
We are transitioning the Merkrete grout product line to Sika® branding. The transition allows Sika to provide a one-stop, single product category of grout solutions designed to complete any SikaTile and/or Merkrete tile or stone project.
New Tile Grout Colors & Discontinued Items
Effective March 3, 2025, the repositioned, single SikaTile® grout line is being expanded and reimagined with new colors. The refreshed pallet contains 32 colors, retaining select best sellers, retiring outdated hues and introducing 14 new, popular, modern tones. Additionally, all colors will be available in each SikaTile® product.
We are excited to provide you with the following links below where you will find a series of downloadable documents that outline our combined tile grout portfolio. These documents are organized in a variety of different formats for your convenience. You can choose from the full list of grout crossovers or by individual product. Also included is the new, grout color card. In addition, we are providing a downloadable list of Discontinued Products that will be phased out of the portfolio effective immediately. No further production of these items is planned.

Grout Refresh Frequently Asked Questions

All legacy Merkrete grout products are being cobranded under the SikaTile brand.
Yes. All SikaTile cement grout contain our patented DUSTLESS formulation, producing significantly less dust for cleaner working environments. Other than the DUSTLESS and no-slake technologies, they are the same great products.
Discontinuation is effective 3/31/2025. No further production is planned so please verify with customer service or your local sales for current inventory levels before placing an order. If we have depleted a discontinued item that is on your PO, we will notify you to switch to the cobranded SikaTile version.
We are transitioning during March 2025. We expect to have most items in inventory by the week of March 3, 2025. Some colors may lag, but we will be fully transitioned by March 31, 2025.
