Grout - Sanded or Unsanded?
I am getting 150 X 150 ceramic tiles laid on my bathroom floor. They are normal tiles - not laser cut (I don't know the correct terminology).
I am supplying materials. Should I get sanded or unsanded grout for this situation?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Sanded is usually best as it's a bit stronger. Unsanded is typically used when the grout lines are really tight (like granite tiles, for example). Remember that where the tiles meet the wall, you will want silicon caulk, not grout. Many makers offer sanded caulk in colours to match their grout.Cheers,
Bob
