My first post so Hi everyone.

After some advice please.

I have light grey ceramic floor tiles and white kitchen units.

I have re-grouted the floor with white standard cement based grout, you can guess that this doesn't last long until it becomes stained and I have to re-grout.

I have tried sealing the grout lines and a complete tile (test area) with an epoxy sealant but it turns the grout grey, I really want to stick with white grout.

So I am looking at white epoxy grout, I am told it is difficult to apply and very expensive, I'm not too bothered about the cost as long as it lasts and doesn't stain.

Has anyone got any experience of epoxy floor grout? and if so how has it worn? how easy is it to apply? etc... and what are the best products? I have found a couple but would apppreciate any recommendations.

thanks

Nick

Have you tried a white colourant. White will need more maintenance.

hi epoxy grout is a lot easier to install these days can recomend laticrete sp 100 have used in laundry toilet entrance area of own house (nearly 15 years back no probs your main prob will be removing all existing grout first

Hi when you come to use the epoxy grout please do a thread on it, i would like to know how easy or hard it is to use ta ......Alby

No Aqua, I have only used white cement based grout which absorbs stains easily and looks a mess after a few months, so I'm looking for a white epoxy,

Looks good to me!!

most topps tile stock white epoxy but i would still avoid it on heavy traffic areas and maybe use mapei silver grey ultracolour

Hi Niick,. I've used epoxy grout years ago when tiling worktops was the vogue, I hope it's evolved since then. you must be very aware of the ambient temperature when applying as it's got a catalyst,& small areas at a time is the way to go.I have to say it's the dogs because it's easy to aftercare due to the nature of it.Hated doing it every time though!!
