Grout Advise Grout colour and type

[bwel]

Just laying large format 80x80 porcelain tiles on underfloor heating with 2mm grout line in my place. Also laid on Durabase isolation layer.

Any advise on Grout Type and Colour. My preference is a colour that merges in with the tile colour rather than contrasting it.

The tiles are very light in colour. They are Sinseti Explorer Bianco.

Thx

Ive googled it, i can't find anything thats says you can't use epoxy with ufh, then again i can't find anything saying you can
Id use grout 3000 , whichever colour you wish

@antonio
it doesn't mean you are wrong.
epoxy grout can be removed by heat but not at the temperatures that an underfloor heating system gives off..I'm just saying sometimes, its better to call a technical department that's all.

some of our tech departments here in the uk can give contrasting answers so its no surprise that we get confused.

I read some data sheets.
no one says: Do not use epoxy on underfloor heating.
say only, wait for more hours, before grouting with epoxy.

i don't like being unsure of anything I do and I don't like it when there's uncertainty over a procedure so,
I called Mapei, Ardex, Bal, Tilemaster and Weber today and all companies said,

Yes, you can use epoxy grout over a heated screed and under floor hearing

So, there you go, now we all know...Every days a school day, so @antonio you are the cleverest in the class today, so well done ;0)

these threads are great because they push us all to step up our game,

ps I will start a new thread for this because there's a few steps you need to take,
so PLEASE read this thread.

thanks aston,
why, you had doubts? , Antonio, top of the class? lol
I repeat the question for the third time.
more chance of breakage, epoxy or cement?
I already know. but I am expecting your response.

P.S. then it I still have to keep green badge?

I've used epoxy grout over ufh for over 10yrs without issue.

I think he just got lucky...

Yes, I was thinking about Epoxy grout but was advised against it because of the underfloor heating and expoxy could crack. I was advised to use a flexible grout in a darker colour, but personally I'd like the grout to blend in with the colour of the tiles.

I like the idea of Expoxy grout in a lighter colour to blend with the tiles, but what about the hardness of Epoxy grout and the tile expansion on to the 2mm grout from the underfloor heating ? Would this cause a cracking issue in grout or tiles ?

these are the questions
