MavGrout — sloping grout
MavGrout USP is the cementitious urethane sculpting grout used to build positive slope at 1/2 inch to 3 inches — trench drains, floor sinks, and wash-down bay pitches. Not a joint filler, not a self-leveler, not a polyurea.

The product that builds the fall
MavGrout USP is Maverick's cementitious urethane sloping grout — what you reach for whenever a floor drain, trench drain, or wash-down bay needs positive slope built at 1/2 inch to 3 inches of thickness. It carries MavCrete-level chemical resistance in a sculpting-grade rheology, and it is typically self-priming over sound, prepped concrete. It is not a joint filler and it is not a self-leveler.
Say it out loud, then check yourself
- 01What is the primary use case for MavGrout USP?
Building positive slope into a floor at 1/2 inch to 3 inches of thickness — trench-drain slopes, floor-sink recesses, and wash-down bay pitches. It carries MavCrete-level chemical resistance in a sculpting-grade product.
- 02Slope math — 40 linear feet of trench at 1/4 inch per foot of fall.
Total drop equals fall rate times distance: 1/4 inch per foot × 40 feet = 10 inches of drop at the far end.
- 03How does USP integrate with a MavCrete UM floor at a drain?
MavGrout USP goes down first to build positive slope to the drain, then MavCrete UM is troweled up to the grout at the transition. Tie them with a saw-cut key in the concrete under the joint, or step the grout thickness so the UM has a mechanical shoulder. Both share urethane cement chemistry, so the bond is chemically compatible.
Takeaways
- Build range is 1/2 inch to 3 inches. It does not feather to zero — terminate at a key or a mechanical stop.
- Self-priming over sound, prepped concrete.
- It is cementitious urethane, not polyurea. MavJoint JF is the polyurea in the line.
