White as the ancients knew it – yet completely reimagined
Even the master builders of Rome knew the art of permanently bonding materials. Lime, sand and water formed the grout joints that can still be found today in ancient baths and mosaic floors. What was considered craftsmanship then has been refined over millennia: Today, with Fugabella Color White, there is a material that unites the knowledge of the past with modern science. The immaculately pure white stays consistent, whether in a classroom project, your own bathroom or a creative mosaic. A grout that keeps its promise – permanently beautiful, functional and ecological.

From lime and sand to Resina-cemento®
A short history of grout
Even in antiquity, builders knew that a good grout joint is more than just filler material. The Romans used fine lime mortar to bond mosaics, bricks and stones with precision. In the baths of Pompeii you can still see how evenly these joints withstood the centuries. Their light color was a symbol of cleanliness and order, especially in baths and private homes. With Fugabella Color White, Kerakoll builds on this ancient knowledge while combining it with modern hybrid binder technology. The mineral component recalls classic mortars, while the innovative resin delivers the strength one could only dream of in antiquity.
Fun fact: Roman craftsmen often mixed volcanic ash into lime mortar. This made the material more resilient. Modern hybrid grouts like Fugabella Color stand in this tradition of smart material blends.
Think creatively, work precisely and experience history
Whether for a school project on Roman mosaics, for restoring a tiled backsplash or in your own bathroom, Fugabella Color White ensures every joint is clean, durable and elegantly shaped. The smooth consistency makes application easier, even with fine structures and small stones.
Teachers combine building materials science with hands-on craft and demonstrate how materials technology works. DIYers enjoy precise work without rush because the working time is comfortable and the color brilliance endures. Thanks to the water-repellent surface, the white grout color stays radiant for a long time, even with frequent contact with water or temperature fluctuations. This creates projects that succeed and show how modern materials reinterpret ancient knowledge.
A word of wisdom from antiquity
“Ars longa, vita brevis.” – Hippocrates, Aphorismi
Translation: “Art is long, life is short.”
Interpretation: Genuine skill and lasting quality demand time and dedication. A precise, clean grout preserves work for the future. Fugabella Color White stands for uniting aesthetics and durability.
Workshop insights
How does Fugabella Color White differ from classic grout?
Fugabella Color White is a hybrid grout (Resina-cemento®), not a pure cement grout. As a result, the joint remains color-stable, water-repellent and low-maintenance compared with conventional options.
Is the product suitable for learning or creative projects?
Yes, ideal for educators and DIY. The mix is easy to prepare, spreads evenly and offers a tangible introduction to ancient construction techniques, without unpleasant emissions.
How does the white really stay brilliant?
Use clean water and a consistent mixing ratio. After grouting, wash diagonally with a clean sponge only. This prevents greying and preserves color consistency.
“We regularly use Fugabella Color White in our school projects on Roman mosaics. The compound is easy to work with, cures evenly and stays permanently white. Ideal for teaching, an example of modern construction art that brings history to life.”
