Grouting Natural Stone Tiles
just finished tiling bathroom with 100x100 natural stone tiles from b+q (customer insisted!).
used max 4 mm spaces in places to get level effect but just need a bit of advise as to how to tackle grouting. All tiles have been sealed this afternoon so grouting can commence in morning.
Just not sure whether to grout as normal with float or to pipe grout into joints in order to keep tiles cleaner....................
any ideas lads (or ladettes!)

Re: Grouting Natural Stone Tiles
As dave has said grout as normal but do a test patch first to see if they are going to be hard work or easier to clean off before you hook in.

Re: Grouting Natural Stone Tiles
are they the travertine with holes in? if so i check with the customer if they want the holes filed as well as the joints?
i did one a month or 2 ago and grouted as normal then the customer said they didn't want he holes filed in!! bit late then, managed to talk them round with my way of thinking...
