DIY Related: Grouts

[KIB1]

I have tiled my Kitchen with Jet Black tiles, all the black grouts I have seen are just not that black, I was thinking of using Black silicon from a tube/gun, I see know reason why i cannot use silicon to grout these tile, but I have asked around, and everybody just shakes there heads. should i attempt it?, has anybody else used silicon for more than the line around the sink or bath. Somebody must have tried it. Thanks Kib1

I'm pretty confident with sealing with silicon but personally wouldn't try for myself, i would find it too difficult to get a good finish in the + joints. I tiled a jet black gloss tile in my brothers kitchen and used a black mapie grout and looked great dryed a darker color than the powder but would advise using laytex gloves.

Mapei Ultracolour Plus 120 (Black) grout is very black. I am presuming your tiles are gloss? The black may not look "as" black because grout doesn't have a gloss finish. If you have a local Mapei stockist, I suggest taking alook at the Ultracolour Black

Got the Black Ultracolor plus on a black granite floor in my album if the OP would like to have a nosy!
