    Default What colour grout would you recommend? Here are pics of my tiles.

    Hello,

    I'm tiling a bathroom and need advice on grout colours please. My floors are a 23x23 latte coloured mosaic and the ways are a white gloss subway tile in brick pattern.

    I hate cleaning so I'd like something that would make life easy and not look too dirty.

    I'd like the tiles to stand out but nothing too shocking. Was thinking of a dove grey for the walls.

    What colour would you recommend for the floor? Here's a pic.

    Many thanks,
    Karen

    i dont blame him with mosaics on the floor and small tiles on the wall . looooooaaaaaaadddddddddssssss of groutlines to clean up there are plenty of good brand grouts out there now, mould resistant etc and you can always seal them too for extra peace of mind. good ventilation in the bathroom will help prevent discolouration of the grout too

    Hello, theres no right or wrong.Its all down to personnel taste.Some would use a color close to the tiles,others would go for white so it stands out.

    Hi, Karen, I'd go for a light to mid grey - it has this quality of almost disappearing visually and help the focus stay on the tiles - that's why it is the safext colour to use in mosaics in general. And it's not hard to keep clean. There is no doubt that epoxy is the way to go, however, using a fine sanded grout like Mapei and LPT sealer on top will go a long way of keeping it clean. I wouldn't use white, it has a kind of separating effect, visually. Have fun

    BAL gunmetal grey for me, I'm sure Mapei and the other big manufacturers do similar colours but I haven't used them so can't comment on them. I use this colour alot and it is a very light silvery grey, very classy and understated but gives a clean finish.
