I've just tiled my Kitchen worktops with black starburst granite tiles and it looks great, however I want to finish it off with Black grout. Do I need to use Epoxy grout? Or will a normal anti bacterial grout be fine?
What type/make would you recommend?
(Spacers are 1mm, tiles have a chamfered edge)

Any top tips would be welcome!

Many thanks
Simon

if the tiles are on the worktop you should use an epoxy, use bal easypoxy as its good to work with. if the tiles are on the wall as a splashback, use bals microflex grout...

Thnaks for the suggestion, Had a look online and can't see Bal easypoxy in black (just white grey or ivory)- do you know where I can get this in black

cheers

Laticrete is another maker of epoxy grout "Spectralock" it is called. They do a black. Nice grout to use (For an Epoxy). It aint cheap though.

Hi
Webers epoxy grout is nice to work with.

I would use a black epoxy resin but I think I would bring it up flush to the surface and hide the rectified edges.
