Would you use white grout or black grout on white gloss wall tiles?
Comments (3)Personal preference - they both look great! But the black grout is more of a statement (which i love!)...See MoreGrout Colour Question
Comments (11)Ouch! redoing the job means scraping out the old grout and replacing. In my limited experience tilers hate doing this and may miss bits, I don't think the grout is as solid afterward either, ok on walls not so good on busy floors. If the grout hasn't been sealed and given that it is so absorbent anyway it should be simple to recolour, just test first as it may change colour when it dries. Then use a quality tile and grout sealer, worth the time imho. I would hesitate to tell a professional tiler which brand of grout to use unless you have experience, they differ in quality, colour is up to you of course....See MorePlease solve an argument: What is the standard grout size for tiles??
Comments (20)there is also a difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles - often these issues come down to a combination of (a) tile batch size/consistency (b) tiler's skill/capacity (c) communication in that if the tiler opens the tile box and he can't practically achieve what he thought he might because of the general discrepancies in size then they should at least speak to you before they start. So often with many issues in this game, it's about managing people's expectations and having open/honest discussions at the right time. When this breaks down, problems and disappointment is more likely to occur......so coming back to it, if you have high quality porcelain tiles that are millimetre perfect, square and flat then the capacity to lay them with minimal spacing is higher. Also the substrate/prep plays a part as if it's all out of whack and not perfectly straight/plumb/square then you'll be in all sorts trying to achieve the minimal tolerance detail....See MoreNavy blue Tile Grout
Comments (1)If you actually walk into a tile shop, they have a huge range of grout colours on swatches, ready to match with any tile....See Moredts builders
