Grouting anti slip tiles......

[davemul]

Aaargh.. just realised now i've ordered blimin Kerapoxy grout...

my floor tiles are anti slip.

is this going to make grout removal a massive pain in the proverbial!?

Any tips for easy grouting of these tiles.

will be a bathroom so a wet area

thanks all

What tiles are they ?

 

[davemul]

just some 30cm sq ceramics

 

[Gazzer]

Yes but what is the pattern on them to make them non slip.

 

[davemul]

no pattern, just kind of a stippled finish if that makes sense. Running your hand over it is rough rather than smooth as per the wall tiles

 

[Gazzer]

Hard to say without knowing the tile but Epoxy is easier than it used to be.

 

[davemul]

Yeah I guess.. these are the tiles if it helps.. prob not!

I cant see those causing much problem. Just follow advice given here http://www.tilersforums.com/tile-ad...e-preparation/51449-guide-epoxy-grouting.html

The grouting will not affect the slip coefficient at all unless you leave grout haze on them

Its getting the grout residue off that I am worried about Kevin

Might be time to get a pro in

 

[davemul]

Nope, I dont think so at all

 

[jay]

May i ask why

 

[davemul]

Because I am more than capable. I just like to ask a lot of questions and tend to probably over worry about things as I am being a total paranoid perfectionist on this job.

 

[jay]

Fair enough

Been using a lot of epoxy lately on my latest artistic glass mosaics, lots of tiny pieces or just a few mm in parts, different heights of glass, crazy paving pattern, sharp edges... and was a little apprehensive how well I could handle the epoxy that was a doddle when practising with 'normal' uncut glass mosaics - and it's been fine, and I reckon you'll find using plenty of hot water and the white scouring pad you will find that it'll be fine, too. The rough surface really wouldn't worry me now, actually I imagine it would be easier than having sharp points catching the sponge, rag, whatever.

Getting epoxy grout haze (bloom) off is no harder than getting normal cementitious grout off. Just follow the instructions and make sure you have an Epoxy grout sponge to hand and a spray water bottle. It's a breeze.
