White cement

Cement made from raw materials low in iron, so it is white instead of grey.

What it is

White cement is used where colour matters: wall putty, tile grout, terrazzo, decorative finishes and coloured plaster. It is more expensive than grey cement and not used for structure.

Key points

  • Base for wall putty
  • Grouting tile joints
  • Terrazzo and decorative work
  • Can be tinted with pigments

Why it matters

It gives a smooth, bright base for paint and neat tile joints.

How Elamentt handles it

White cement based putty and grout are part of the finishing, as written in your specification.
