    epoxy enhanced grouts have been available for a long time I am sure laticrete were making them 20 years ago and remember using them, the benefit back then was cold water washing and no epoxy haze but they werent recommended for food prep areas as I remember not sure what the current batch are like

    Yes, in Egypt they have a product like that, I liked it so much I brought 10kg back with me! It's too sanded though for most applications, and probably not as strong as either cement or epoxy grout, seems weaker here than it did in Egypt, maybe it's too damp here. Where do you get your Laticrete from, Gary? Can't seem to find a supplier in the UK..it really bugs me.

    used an ardex white hybrid grout today,was much easier to apply than epoxy but felt it was much the same to clean down,it was easier however to work with
