Grout Advise Grout colour and type

[bwel]

Just laying large format 80x80 porcelain tiles on underfloor heating with 2mm grout line in my place. Also laid on Durabase isolation layer.

Any advise on Grout Type and Colour. My preference is a colour that merges in with the tile colour rather than contrasting it.

The tiles are very light in colour. They are Sinseti Explorer Bianco.

Thx

light color, better epoxy grout

Yes, I was thinking about Epoxy grout but was advised against it because of the underfloor heating and expoxy could crack. I was advised to use a flexible grout in a darker colour, but personally I'd like the grout to blend in with the colour of the tiles.

wrong advice, it might be the opposite.

What would you advise Antonio ?

Ardex make a good range of grout colours suitable for you floor

I suggest epoxy, because the light color becomes dark quickly. (Gets dirty).
otherwise use darker color. is ok flexible mortar.
Here, a lot of good tilers, might help. wait a moment 😉

if you or your cleaner use the right cleaning products light coloured grout will stay light. 😉

I like the idea of Expoxy grout in a lighter colour to blend with the tiles, but what about the hardness of Epoxy grout and the tile expansion on to the 2mm grout from the underfloor heating ? Would this cause a cracking issue in grout or tiles ?
