What is Grouting?
Grout is a paste like material that is used to fill in the gaps between tiles once they have been affixed to the wall or floor. You can get grout ready mixed if you prefer or you can buy it in powdered form. The powder is the cheaper option but the ready mix is the easiest as no preparation is necessary. You will mostly find that grout is white but it is available in a variety of different colours if you require it. A couple of basic things you need to remember before choosing your grout are where it will be and when the tiles were placed. If your grouting will be used in areas where they are likely to be exposed to water you should ensure you purchase a waterproof grout. Secondly, you need to ensure the tiles have had proper time to set before you begin grouting. When all tiles have been laid, wait at least 24 hours before you begin grouting. Check the instructions of your adhesive product for a more specific waiting time. Wall and Floor Tiles Use a Grout Spreader to apply the mixture
