This grout will shrink as it cures which means it can be ideal for a lot of grouting areas around all of your floor tiles. The issue with using this type of grout is that it does shrink which means it is only ideal for small areas as if you have a big area and put in more grout then it will just shrink more which will cause a lot of issues for you.

If you’re going to use this type of grout for larger grout lines then you will need to be aware of the issues it can have and how you might find yourself with floor tiles which have only small areas of grout as the non sanded grout has shrunk and come away from your flooring tiles.

This grout is very easy to work with and for a lot of people who have little experience in laying floor tiles this grout can be the ideal solution, the grout can easily be installed on vertical walls making it ideal for people looking to lay extra tiles on the wall.

Epoxy Grout

It can be a good idea to work in small areas mixing only enough grout to cover a few floor tiles at a time as this will ensure you are not left with any areas which cannot be worked. This grout has also been made using no sand which means it is less likely to damage your floor tiles once you have laid them.

This grout is also low maintenance which means you will only have to do some clean to your floor tiles once every so often because this grout protects your floor tiles very well which is a very important thing.

Choosing the wrong type of grout will cause you a whole list of problems as you will not be able to secure the floor tiles into place properly and you will not be able to easily clean your floor tiles, choosing the correct grout for your floor tiles will not only help the maintenance of your tiles but also improve the look and feel of your tiles.

 
Floor tiles are going to be one of the hardest wearing areas within your house and will be subject to a lot of things becoming stained on your floor tiles including been subject to a lot of water. This is the main reason why we should always ensure we seal all of our floor tiles as it will help to protect the grout and the tiles from leaking water and it will also make cleaning the tiles a lot easier.

It is very important that we apply sealant to all floor tiles which might be UN glazed as they will not have the protective coat which will protect them from spills and stains, this sealant will act as a barrier and protect all of your floor tiles from becoming damaged this sealant will also make your floor tiles water proof.

Allow the solution to dry properly before washing off with a sponge and some cold water make sure the floor is properly dry by using a small cloth to remove any excess water which might be on your floor tiles. Continue to buff the tiles if you can still see some areas which have not been dried properly as the floor tiles need to be completely dry before you can seal them, failing to do this will mean your sealant doesn’t stick properly and therefore will leak water.

To ensure you can lay the sealant over all of your floor tiles properly you will need to pour some of the sealant into the paint tray and then using your roller make sure you have sealant all over the roller. Once this has been done you can apply sealant all over your floor tiles in even strokes apply the sealant over all of your floor tiles and allow to dry properly.

Now all of the felt has been laid you will need to add your concrete backing board to the wall as well simply align it with where you plan on laying your bathroom tiles and then screw into place adding a fresh screw every 6 inches.

Adding the concrete backing board will help ensure all of your ceramic tiles are waterproof and you will not have to keep replacing the tiles and parts of the wall because they have collected mould and mildew. Once you have attached the board to the wall allow it to stand for a few minutes as it will move due to the weight.  Once all of the backing board is secured you can now begin the process of securing your wall for the bathroom tiles will mean you will need to apply some thinset mortar to the wall.
