What is the difference between cement grout and epoxy grout?

Cement grout uses a Portland cement base and suits most wall and floor applications. Epoxy grout uses a resin base and resists stains, chemicals, and water absorption. Epoxy grout costs more but needs no sealer and suits wet areas and commercial kitchens.

Which grout is silica-free?

Luminous SSG is the only silica-free grout in this range. It also holds Green Tag certification for low environmental impact. Use it where you need to eliminate respirable silica dust during mixing and application.

Which grout can I walk on the fastest?

Mapei Ultracolour Plus allows foot traffic in three hours, the fastest in this range. It is also the only grout without Portland cement, which eliminates efflorescence risk. Most cement-based grouts need 24 hours before traffic.

Which grout is best for wide joints?

Ardex WJ50 fills joints up to 50 mm wide, the widest in this range. It suits external paving and natural stone with large joint widths. For standard wall and floor tiles, most grouts handle joints from 1 to 15 mm.

Is there a non-sanded grout for narrow joints?

Yes. Ardex FS-DD is a fine non-sanded grout for wall tile joints from 1 to 5 mm. Use it for polished marble, glass mosaics, and other scratch-sensitive tiles where sanded grout would damage the surface.

Do I need to seal cement grout?

Most cement-based grouts benefit from a penetrating sealer after curing, especially in wet areas. Epoxy grout needs no sealer. Check the product data sheet for the grout you choose, as some cement grouts have additives that reduce sealing needs.

Tile Grouts

Tile grout finishes the joints between tiles, supports the appearance of the installation and helps protect the edges of the tiled surface. Adheseal's range covers coloured cementitious grouts for everyday wall and floor tiling, plus epoxy tile grout for installations where chemical resistance, low water absorption and hygiene are more...

Choose cementitious or epoxy tile grout

Cementitious grout is the usual choice for residential and commercial wall and floor tiling where the manufacturer approves the joint width, tile type and exposure. Epoxy grout is better suited to demanding wet, chemical or hygiene-sensitive environments and requires a different installation and cleaning process.

Choose tile grout by joint width

Start with the joint width recommended by the grout manufacturer. ARDEX FS-DD is designed for fine joints up to 4mm, while ARDEX FG8 covers 1mm to 8mm joints. Mapei Keracolor FF is designed for joints up to 6mm, Keracolor GG covers 4mm to 15mm, RLA Luminous SSG covers a broad joint range, and Mapei Ultracolor Plus extends the choice for wider joints. Always check the current technical data before installation.

Coloured grout for bathrooms, floors and walls

Grout colour can blend with the tile or create contrast. This collection includes whites, greys, neutrals and darker colours from ARDEX, Mapei and RLA. Fine, smooth grouts can suit rectified porcelain and mosaics, while larger joints and more textured tiles may require a coarser or wider-joint formulation.

Wet areas, pools and exterior tiling

Bathrooms, showers, balconies, pools and exterior work place additional demands on grout. Select a product whose technical data covers the intended exposure, water resistance, joint width and tile type. For higher chemical resistance or very low water absorption, compare the dedicated Epoxy Tile Grout range.

Complete the tiling system

Grout should be installed only after the tile adhesive has cured sufficiently and joints are clean and consistent in depth. Movement joints should not be filled with rigid cement grout; use the specified flexible sealant instead.
