From providing traction when used in flooring applications to enhancing your tile\u2019s look as well as lifespan, it does a lot. So, it\u2019s important to us as tile lovers that you become acquainted with this mighty useful design element and the types of grout that exist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Today we explore this substance and do a quick rundown of all the types offered on the market to help you prepare for your next home improvement tile project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The John Show - Grout\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PtmVwS6SF7I?start=39&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Grout and Why Use It?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First things first, for those wondering \u201cWhat is grout?\u201d Let\nus explain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Grout is the paste that fills the spaces between each of your tiles (commonly called a &#8220;grout joint&#8221;). This is important because not all tiles, particularly those fired in a kiln such as terra-cotta or ceramic tiles, have perfectly straight and even edges, and most all tiles are porous. The grout fills the gaps and helps align the tiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It also helps to hold the tiles in place by bonding the sides together and strengthening the overall structure. Sometimes, it also adds slid-resistance.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The substance has a rough texture, and for the most part, goes unnoticed unless it is intended to make a statement. Tile grout typically consists of a combination of water, colorant and cement.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While they may all look alike the naked eye, there are 3 main types that you should familiarize yourself with.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Grout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cement <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> The most classic of grout options. It has been used in applications for years and years. This type can be broken down into 2 sub-categories; sanded and non-sanded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/collection\/grout\/sanded-grout.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sanded Cement (opens in a new tab)\">Sanded Cement<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pros<\/strong>: It helps create slip resistance when used in areas that get wet. It prevents shrinkage and cracking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cons: <\/strong>While this can be a pro for some, it takes a little longer than epoxy grout to set which means if you\u2019re working on a tight schedule it may not be the fit for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> <strong>Application: <\/strong>This type of grout does well for grout joints wider than 1\/8<sup>th<\/sup> of an inch.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/collection\/grout\/non-sanded-grout.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Non-Sanded Cement (opens in a new tab)\">Non-Sanded Cement<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Non-sanded grout is essentially the same base as the sanded type, only there isn\u2019t any addition of sand to the mix, as the name implies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong>Due to its sticky nature, it is easier to use on walls and won\u2019t move much as you work with it during an application. It is ideal for smaller grout joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cons<\/strong>: If you use the non-sanded grout on larger grout joints, they will crack due to the lack of the bonding effect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Application: <\/strong>This type of grout does well for 1\/16<sup>th<\/sup> and 1\/8<sup>th<\/sup> of an inch grout joint.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It should be noted that for <strong>both <\/strong>sanded and non-sanded grout types that you will need to seal them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/collection\/tile-accessories\/grout.html\" style=\"background-color:#54748c\"><strong>Shop Cement Grout<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Epoxy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Epoxy grout is one of the most durable options available, even though it\u2019s a relatively new one. It\u2019s not only resistant to staining or water damage, it also holds up against moisture well. There are two parts to this grout; the base and the activator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong>The pros list for epoxy grout may seem endless, and that\u2019s because this is a type of grout that has been especially formulated for durability as well as residential \/ commercial use. It absorbs water, is chemically resistant and has double the strength of traditional cement grouts. All this, and it doesn\u2019t wear down over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cons: <\/strong>The one con is that application has to be done quickly due to the chemical reaction that takes place. This usually means that a professional should be hired for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/collection\/tile-accessories\/grout.html\" style=\"background-color:#54748c\"><strong>Shop Epoxy Grout<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Furan Resin <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A highly chemical resistant type of grout, Furan is made without the presence of water. To form, it takes a two-part system; a furan resin and a filler powder with an acid catalyst. The acid catalyst causes the furan resins to cure, which in turn leads to a substance that is extremely chemical, and thermal resistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pros: <\/strong> It is a highly resistant grout option. Makes for a great option for areas that are exposed to chemicals and\/or grease. Can be used with newer, more popular tile options like pavers as well as quarry tile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cons: <\/strong> Difficult to install. Usually need a skilled contractor to help apply it. Fumes should be avoided and proper precautions should be taken before installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/collection\/tile-accessories\/grout.html\" style=\"background-color:#54748c\"><strong>Shop Furan Resin Grout<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing The Right Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whether for a bathroom or kitchen backsplash, countertop or floor tile remodel (or something else), choosing the right grout color is essential for any tiling project. Along with the tile color and pattern, making the choice when it comes to your grout will make the statement you&#8217;re going for. Dark grout provides a different look and feel than lighter &#8211; what ambiance are you going for? Do you want low or high contrast? These are questions to consider when choosing the color.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White Grout Color <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpstage.tilebar.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BLU_BayouMarine_SavvyInteriors.jpg\" alt=\"White grout on blue subway tile with white contrast tile used in shower environment \" class=\"wp-image-1654\" width=\"338\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.speedsize.com\/e0ef94ef-bbea-450b-a400-575c3145c135\/wpstage.tilebar.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BLU_BayouMarine_SavvyInteriors.jpg\/w_1080 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.speedsize.com\/e0ef94ef-bbea-450b-a400-575c3145c135\/wpstage.tilebar.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BLU_BayouMarine_SavvyInteriors.jpg\/w_768 768w, https:\/\/cdn.speedsize.com\/e0ef94ef-bbea-450b-a400-575c3145c135\/wpstage.tilebar.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BLU_BayouMarine_SavvyInteriors.jpg\/w_585 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><figcaption>Design \/\/ <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"savvyinteriors.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savvyinteriors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Savvy Interiors<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">White grout is both a blessing and a curse. It does an extraordinary job of hiding grout lines when paired with lighter or white colored tile. Additionally, it can make colored tile pop. However, since it is stain&#8217;s favorite color, it dirties quickly and should be cleaned quite often. For those who are able to continue with its upkeep, it will be a great match.

The result is less maintenance as the tile ages, so you can worry less about spills or splashes. Aside from this, neutral grout can showcase the shape of your tile very nicely. If you use a subway tile in a special <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"lay pattern (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/wpstage.tilebar.com6-lay-patterns-subway-tile\/\" target=\"_blank\">lay pattern<\/a>, you&#8217;ll get a bit of pop which adds to your design.
