Unsanded tile grout is used on ceramic tile that has been installed with a grout joint width of less than 1/8 of an inch wide and should always be used on polished natural stone products. Sanded tile grout is used on tile with a grout joint width equal to or greater than 1/8 of an inch.

Sanded grout is just what it says. It has sand added to it to increase the strength in a larger grout joint. It stops the grout from shrinkage and adds strength so that the grout will not crack. Un-sanded grout is used in many wall applications because of it's non abrasive texture. If the grout joint is going to be more than 1/8" you need to use sanded. The only time an un-sanded grout is used on the floor is with the installation of marble. See similar questions...

There are many things that can cause excessive deflection in your subfloor (and consequent cracking in the tile) or you may have a perfectly sound subfloor but not have prepared the floor properly for tile. Does the thinset used match the conditions present (was a polymer additive used and if so was it appropriate for the subfloor?) See similar questions...

Most grouts today are polymer modified, which means they have a latex in them. Use a latex grout film remover to clean the grout haze from the tile. Do not use muriatic acid. See similar questions...

Professional cleaners have been educated in the proper care and maintenance of your tile floors. The equipment and chemicals they use, are specifically designed for these surfaces. The use of Acidic & Alkaline chemicals, along with HOT pressurized water, will effectively restore your tile and grout, to its original beauty. Proper professional cleaning will remove 95% of the dirt, and restore your floor to "like new" condition. See similar questions...

Yes. If for example you used a Powdered Adhesive first, then you could use this only as a grout (on interior ceramic wall tiles). See similar questions...

Grout is used to fill the spaces between ceramic tiles. When dry it has the texture and character of cement. It should only be used between products of the same type, usually ceramic or stone tile. It should not be used at the seam between tile and any other product, especially wood or wallboard. Products respond to heat, cold and humidity in different ways and grout is not flexible and will crack and fall away as different pressures are exerted by the different products it is attached to.

Removing grout that is adhered to a tile floor can be difficult. The type of tile greatly affects the difficulty of grout removal; also, if the grout was polymer modified, it may be more difficult to remove. In general, the more porous the surface, the better grout will adhere - conversely, grout is more easily removed from dense impervious tiles (e.g. porcelain). To remove the grout, start with an alkaline cleaner and a nylon scrub pad. See similar questions...

Most standard thin-set mortars will reach initial cure within 24 hours, however certain job conditions could affect the final cure time required and you should always refer to and comply with the manufacturers instructions listed on the thin-set bag. See similar questions...

There are extra whitening agents within the product that reduce the potential for the grout to discolour. If you keep your grout lines clean and follow good working practices then the whiteness will last longer. See similar questions...

Cement – polymer based grout is based on cement and polymers as the name suggests whereas epoxy grout is based on resin, hardener and filler. Epoxy grout is resistant to most of the chemicals whereas cement – polymer grout is not. (refer epoxy grout data sheet) Mechanical properties like compression strength and tensile strength of epoxy grout is almost 100% higher compared to cement – polymer grout. See similar questions...

Our Medallion finish is the most popular for industrial use. It has a slightly raised finish that is both non-slip and easy to clean. Our Leathergrain finish is particularly suitable for both corporate and domestic environments. See similar questions...

The composition is what makes the difference. Ceramic tile is made of clay either white or red, Porcelain tile is made of porcelain. Porcelain offers less absorption of water, it is virtually impervious and has more sheer strength to it. See similar questions...

You can install our tiles without grout lines. You may choose to seal the tiles with nonsanded grout. See similar questions...

Epoxy grout (meeting ANSI A118.3) is quite different from cementitious grout and epoxy emulsion grout. Made from epoxy resins and a filler powder, the grout is extremely hard, durable, and nearly stain proof. Often times the bond between tiles is stronger than the tile itself. You might wonder why this type of grout is not used all the time. First, most installers find it harder to use than cementitious grout. See similar questions...

Met-Tile is made of 3-ft-wide steel panels, in lengths of two to 20 feet. Since the panels are stepped to create a tile-like appearance, they are commonly referred to as "tile panels" or "tile facsimile panels." See similar questions...

Vitrified tiles are unglazed tiles. Their polish is achieved by very hard materials and they are very very strong and durable, whereas porcelano tiles are glazed tiles and their durability is as good as the durability of the glaze applied over them. And glaze are not hard and scratch resistant as the vitrified tiles. See similar questions...

Priority III (Residential streets are only sanded at intersections & on rare occasions bends & curves are done.Icy conditions around water main breaks will be sanded as required) See similar questions...

Yes, you can sand veneer. Even though ours are sanded during manufacturing, finish sanding is recommended to achieve the best results when staining or clear coating. See similar questions...
