    Default Coloured grout

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best BAL grout to use? I have walls and floor to do with ceramic tiles (300 x 200 approx on walls, 300 x 300 approx on floor). I`m having to go over old vinyl tiles on the floor which i`ll be priming with SBR. They`re all beige colour tiles and customer wants a beige colour grout. Anybody recommend a suitable beige colour grout that will do both floor and walls? I normally use BAL.

    Cheers

    hello turkish mate...

    If they are matching tiles then i would just use the same grout on both wall and floor , so that you have a nice match.....

    I use this bal grout...

    BAL Superflex Wide Joint Grout

    use Ivory.......

    What about looking at the grout boards in the shop. Some tile stores have all the grout colours.

    Ok they are tiny size but they can match up to a tile
