What kind of grout to use when tiling bathroom?
1. Unsanded Grout
- Best for joints 1/16 inch or smaller
- Smoother finish
- Easier to clean
- Less likely to crack or chip
- Not recommended for heavy-duty applications or areas with a lot of movement
2. Sanded Grout
- Best for joints larger than 1/16 inch
- More durable and resistant to wear and tear
- Better for areas with a lot of movement or heavy-duty applications
- Can be harder to clean and may have a rougher finish
3. Epoxy Grout
- Strongest and most durable type of grout
- Resistant to chemicals, stains, and water
- Ideal for commercial or industrial applications
- More difficult to apply and more expensive than other types of grout
Additional Considerations:
- The type of tile you are using will also affect the type of grout you need. For example, ceramic tiles require a different type of grout than natural stone tiles.
- The width of the grout joints will also affect the type of grout you need. Narrower joints require a grout that is more flexible and less likely to crack or chip. Wider joints can accommodate a more rigid grout.
- The color of the grout can also affect the overall look of your bathroom. Choose a grout color that complements the tiles you are using. You can also use a contrasting color to create a more dramatic look.
