A very brittle hard porcelain tile with a very textured finish. Has anyone ever grouted these? They look like they are going to be a nightmare to grout, any tips welcome.

I used them in a wetroom and shower room , they are in the gemini range @ CTD .. yes they are a mare for washing off .... grout haze remover works a treat for final clean up..

Just done 53m of Casalgrande Mineral Chrom in wetroom and bathroom.

Very very textured

New! - Mineral Chrom - Casalgrande Padana

First was a nightmare trying to wash down after grouting. But what I did as I progressed was grout joints and remove excess almost immediately with sponge, being careful not to touch the joints, worked to about 3-4mm away from it.

On 2nd bathroom I got some empty silicon tubes and filled with grout, then using that I filled the joints, and then forced it fully in with grout float, found that it was quick enough 60x30 tiles so not too many joints.

Don't envy you though

These are one of the hardest tiles I've fitted, 2 sigma wheels have gone to a better place with this tile

And you've not even started grouting yet Charlie?

Nope, grout tomorrow. So much had to be wet cut, looking great though!
