    Default Grout Colour Advice & Bond

    Hi

    Going to be laying the wood effect dark 600x150 tiles from B&Q (client provided).

    Can anyone recommend a good choice of grout colourwise, both the Ultracolour brown and chocolate look possibles, or would you consider contrasting the grout (seems that this would make the idea of wood floor imitation pointless).

    Secondly, what bond would you use? Brickbond seems a bit too regular, perhaps a random bond?

    Any pictures appreciated and thanks for the help again.

    Thanks Wayne

    The only pattern the client does not want is herringbone unfortunately.

    I am thinking that a random broken bond may be best.

    Cheers
