Just A Little Bit Of Anthracite Grout!

[peteablard]

Glad this floor is finished, 125m2 and took 414kg of grout!!

 

[Stef]

414kg??
Cost more for the grout than the sticky!!

 

[peteablard]

Yep, 18 23kg bags. Joints were half filled with adhesive first using a mortar gun. Tiles were 50mm thick and the joints vary from 5mm to 20mm as the tiles were all different sizes.

Jesus Christ! That's half a ton ain't it?

Not far off mate!

No talking them into grey then?

No talking them into grey then?

Or a more sensible tile

 

[peteablard]

Or a more sensible tile

There's nothing sensible about this job. Tiles cost £7k from a local reclamation yard and this barn is purely to have parties in!!

Do you get free invites? You slogged over it so might aswell dance in a drunken manner over it to.

But, looks good. You must have more patience than anyone!

I would have grouted them in sand and cement with a colour ..........save ££££s and also would have been quicker.

 

[peteablard]

Sand and cement was offered as an option however the same grout was used in another barn conversion next to this and they wanted the same. Money is not an issue, getting it exactly how they want it is all that matters

That was a good idea to half fill the joints first.

How many sponges were in the bin when you finished?

What colour are your hands?!
