Tile Grout

Tiling grout is intended to fill in the gaps between tiles, creating a uniform, neat look. Grout also helps to protect the surface. Correct and neat grouting can make or break your tiling project; therefore, it is vital to select the correct grout for your project.

At UK Tile Sales we stock an industry leading range of BAL and Ardex grout. Our friendly tiling experts can help you to choose the right grout and ensure it conforms to British Standard BS EN 13888.

A mechanical tile saw may be required for porcelain, natural stone products, limestone, marble, granite slate etc. Tile fixing trim (available in coloured PVC and metals), bath seal, pre-formed movement and control joint profiles will make your job look more professional. All these products are featured under ‘Tools and Accessories’ on our website.

How To Complete Your Grouting?

It may look simple but grouting can be a difficult task to get right. And, when you’ve just invested in new tiles you don’t want to go wrong. Our brief guide below will take you through the basics of grouting for beginners.

Please Note: always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If you are uncertain, always consult a professional.

First things first, do not begin grouting or walk on the floor tiles for at least 24 hours (unless using a rapid set adhesive) to avoid disturbing the tiles before they have bonded completely with the adhesive.

Firstly, apply the grout into the tile joints using a squeegee. Remove any surplus grout from the surface with a sponge and, if required, peg the joints with a rounded stick to achieve an even better finish.

Top grouting tip: when grouting tiles on a timber floor, use a water-based polymer admixture to improve flexibility.
