adhesive and grout

[Deleted member 5518]

Hi again ,
got a small job on friday tiling a small ensuite floor on wooden flooring in a new build mews. The clent wants white grout , so am i right in thinking i should use white adhesive as well with this?
Which brand should i be going for ? How much should i be paying for this ? and where from?
Sorry about all the questions. It's only my second job and its so important for me to make it right as there could be other work from the same client. The ensuite floor is 1.6 x 1.6 m
many thanks in advance

use a white adhesive whenever the grout colour is light and a grey when the grout is dark.......saves you hours in cleaning the joins..........whenever wood is involved use flexi adhesive (s1 standard).

It's generally ok to use gray adhesive with white grout, but you need to take extra care to clean out any excess adhesive from the grout lines if you do. Any protruding addy and the grout'll look dirty. It's also important to the the addy dry properly before you grout. There are almost always instructions on drying time before grouting etc on the addy bag.
