Three reasons we use grouting for our tiled surfaces
Moving into a new house or condo? If you’re the happy owner of a new home, then perhaps you’re already acquainted with the various materials that you need to use to design your space. One of these materials that you will most likely use in the construction of your home will be floor, wall, or ceiling tiles. Tiles are some of the most popular materials for flooring and other purposes and are usually the preferred choice for bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor spaces, and many more. There are many reasons why you should consider tiling: from its natural water resistance to its durability, it’s a superior choice of material.
Tile grouting
Considering a tiled floor for your rooms? Don’t forget an important step in the tiling process: grouting. Grouting is the act of injecting materials into the cracks of surfaces to seal them. In the case of tiles, after you lay them, it is inevitable that there will be gaps between where one tile starts and another ends.
“Grout filling” or grout is the term for the layer or substance that is applied to your tiles. While there are some who say that tile grout is not necessary, don’t be fooled. There are many reasons why you should think of applying grout to your tiles. Here are just a few of them.
- Prevents the growth of moulds. Grout removes the pesky crevices where these can grow.
- Comes in many types. There is acrylic grout that’s great for sealing tiny cracks, waterproof grout that can preserve the looks of your tiles, and coloured grout to blend into surfaces.
- For aesthetic appeal. Ungrouted tiles can deteriorate and darken over time, especially around the edges. Applying grout can prevent this.
