Hemway Champagne Gold Glitter Grout Additive (100g) for Sparkly Tile Grout Lines

If you’re trying to make your kitchen or bathroom tiles look a bit more “finished”, a grout additive is one of those small changes that can genuinely shift the vibe. Hemway’s Champagne Gold Glitter Grout Additive (100g) is designed to be mixed into standard grout so your grout lines catch the light with a champagne-gold sparkle.

That said, it’s still grout—you’re not replacing your tiling system. The result is all about the look of the grout line, so it’s worth thinking carefully about how bold you want the shimmer to be before committing.

What it is and why people use it

This product is a glitter additive for grout. In practice, you open the 100g packet and blend it into your chosen grout mix, then apply and finish as you normally would. The aim is to create interior grout lines in a light-reflective champagne gold effect, so the grout doesn’t just sit there—it adds a subtle sparkle when light hits it.

A common use is updating older tiles and grout where you want a refresh without re-tiling. Another is for new installations where you’re aiming for a more decorative finish on walls and floors.

The essentials: mixing and coverage basics

The packet is intended to mix with standard grout at a stated ratio of 100g / 3.5oz per 1kg / 2lbs of grout. The instructions also emphasise thorough stirring before you apply.

Keep in mind that glitter effects can look different depending on your grout type, the amount you mix in, and how light falls in your room. So, while the ratio is clear on paper, the “how sparkly will it look?” question can vary a fair bit in real life.

Where it stands out (and what you’ll notice day to day)

The main draw here is the shimmering, light-reflective glitter particles and the long-term positioning: the glitter is described as UV, heat, solvent & fade-resistant and waterproof. If you’re using grout in bathrooms or around kitchens, that durability angle matters because grout lines tend to take a beating—steam, moisture, regular cleaning.

On top of that, the additive is presented as colourfast with a pigment approach that’s designed to avoid colour leaking or fading over time. The “no-bleed and non-rust” claim is also relevant if you’re trying to keep the finish looking consistent rather than blotchy.

Potential limitations you should be aware of

It’s not perfect for every scenario. First, it will only enhance the grout lines—you won’t get a full sparkle “spray” effect across the tiles. Second, if you’re after a very minimal, barely-there shimmer, this champagne gold glitter may be more noticeable than you want.

Also, the durability claims (UV/heat/solvent/fade resistance and waterproof) are about the glitter particles, but you still need to choose a grout that’s suitable for your environment and apply it correctly. If you’re not confident with grouting finishes, the sparkle can make uneven application more obvious.

¿Merece la pena? Is it a good buy for your project?

It’s worth considering if you want to upgrade interior grout lines in kitchens and bathrooms and you like the idea of a light-catching champagne-gold sparkle. It also makes sense if you’re working on a tiling project and want a straightforward additive approach—mix, stir thoroughly, apply as usual—rather than redesigning the entire tiling look.

It may not be the best choice if you prefer a totally understated grout line, or if your priority is purely practicality over appearance. If your tiles and grout are already perfect and you just want maintenance, an additive like this isn’t the most sensible route—more of a style decision than a repair tool.

What to check before you buy

Before ordering, it helps to line up these points:

• Do you have the right grout amount? The additive ratio (100g per 1kg grout) is the key maths.
• Are you aiming for champagne gold shimmer, not a neutral glitter? The effect is specifically described as champagne gold.
• Are you using this indoors in a kitchen or bathroom context? The intended use is clearly aimed at those indoor grout areas.
• Are you comfortable with the fact that sparkle visibility depends on your lighting and finish? It’s not something you can fully guarantee from specs alone.

Mini FAQ

Can I use this with any standard grout?

The additive is described as for use with any standard grout, mixed at the stated ratio. If your grout is unusual or requires special mixing, it’s worth double-checking compatibility with the grout instructions (since the glitter instructions reference standard grout).

How do I get the right mix?

Use the ratio given (100g per 1kg grout) and stir thoroughly before applying. If you don’t mix evenly, you can end up with inconsistent glitter distribution.

Is the glitter meant to last in bathrooms and kitchens?

The description says the glitter is UV, heat, solvent & fade-resistant and waterproof, which is aimed at indoor environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

Will the glitter change colour over time?

It’s described as colourfast and fade resistant, with a design that aims to prevent colour leaking and fading.
