Bit of a tiling double act; Jon tiles, and Mary grouts. Renovating a 5 bedroom cottage, mostly by ourselves. Good forum here, and appreciate the advice. Been reading up on epoxy grouts, as I'm tiling a wetroom at the moment, hardiebackerboards on walls, schluter membrane on floor. Wondering how difficult the cleaning would be when using epoxy grouts on a cleft slate floor.
 
I've never used epoxy on slate but would say do a very very small area at a time, Once it's gone off that would be a nightmare to remove from the face of the slate.
 
Hello.

Welcome to the forum.

If you need any help on tiles give us a shout and i'll see what myself and CTD can do to help.

Good luck with your project.

Cheers.

:thumbsup:
 
Thanks, Whitebeam. We're planning to use Bal Easypoxy, but not mix the whole lot in one go. In terms of clean up, would it be best to go for hot water, or something more solvent based?
 
Posh part of South Cheshire near Nantwich. We still have a property in Newcastle Under Lyme.
 
Hi welcome to the forums. Why, particularly epoxy grout?

thinking of epoxy grout partly for water proofing (but not so much of a worry because I specced membranes and backerboards) and to keep the "as freshly tiled" look. I hate stained and mouldy grout. Just a bit concerned about using it with slate - I've read about and heard tales of woe with slate and cementitious grouts. I will be using an impregrator sealer, but.... any thoughts??
