I have had white porcerlain floor tiles laid although they are more cream than white. My tiler suggests grey grout but I think white. What is the norm.

Mapei jasmine would look ok...it's a light creamish colour.

With Dave on this one... Dave i'm surprised your answer didn't appear before the question seeing as how quick you were!

agree with dave,white will look dirty after a while

in high traffic areas like kitchens, hallways etc.
if you use a light coloured grout it get stained from, bikes, dogs, rainwater on shoes etc.

if you do it grey from the start it looks better for longer, you will notice patchy white grout long before you notice patchy grey!!

dont forget it was not too long ago when grout came in two colours..grey for floors and white for walls!

IMO.

True about the white....but floors do look well with matching grouts...and as you know, the mapei ultra colour is hard wearing and an occasional clean keeps them like new...much nicer than boring old grey...

Some even put some glitter in it...

I'll find out about the glitter monday

all agreed Dave, times are a changing...but in my opinion not always for the best!!!

maybe i should have said "for high traffic areas dark colours are better"?

and the glitter grout is epoxy!!!! been there!!

I would go for a cream/ivory colour, then seal the grout with a grout sealer to keep it clean

Yeah i've seen those, Mapei do them don't they although I seem to remember £12 a bag being mentioned to me... I wasn't really looking at the time just picked the bag up and said 'wooo' so i don't know if it was list price that was mentioned but seemed expensive for quite a small bag

i am sure you could get glitter from anywhere and add it to the mix if you can put these sachets in any grout!!

the one i used was Epoxy!
