Wickes 'Taupe' tiles - TilersForums.com

[cheekymonk3y]

I recently bought 40m2 porcelain 300 x 600 'Taupe' tiles from Wickes, thinking they were a beige colour as that's how they looked in the catalogue. However, when they arrived they were more of a dark brown colour with feint grey veins in them - they still matched our kitchen so i decided to keep them, however, I am now at a loss as which colour grout to use!
Has anybody else laid these before and if so what make/colour grout would you suggest??
Help!!!

If you could post a pic that would help, but if it was me I would be advising to use a chocolate to dark brown grout. It will be more subtle against a dark tile and would also be better in the kitchen area, spills etc.

Hi,If you have any local tile shops in you're area pop in and ask for a look at their grout chart/samples.
Take a tile or off cut with you to view against chart...If you re looking for a brown grout then my personal
preference is NULL

I use ultracolourplus by mapei they've got a good selection of creamy beige grouts, I think wickes sell it now.
