Butech, nice. Never had problem, especially black - it stays black

 

[charlie1]

Black for the floors and white for the walls but I'm trying to persuade customer to go with light grey all over

 

[John Benton]

what colour floor tiles?

 

[charlie1]

The wall tiles are white 900x300 rectified ceramic and the floor are 600x600 rectified polished porcs, all done with 2mm grout line

But what colour are the floor tiles?

 

[charlie1]

Sorry, black lol

It's not as smooth as normal wall grout or as easy to use and has a bit of a sandy finish IMO but it fills the joints well

 

[John Benton]

I think black all over would look very contemporary. Are they the tiles you posted the pics of?

If you get the really fine joint grout so that it does not scratch the glaze, you will not have a problem.

Ye mate, I think white will look very dull on the walls!

I used tilemaster 3000 (jasmine) grout yesterday, gotta say it's now my favourite, lovely stuff.

 

[charlie1]

here they are, I think contrasting grout lines always looks better with tiles Like this, why do customers pick white tiles and white grout?

It gives a visual effect that the wall is one solid piece as oppose to broken up by grout joints. The lighter the colour the wall is, to the eye, it appears further away, so creating more space. The darker the colour, the closer it will appear, and hence make the room feel smaller.

a lot nicer to use than mapei ultracolur, no flash setting, creamier too. I'd guess bal microflex is closest to it, (but that long since I've used bal that I'm struggling to rightly remember)

 

[John Benton]

What did you use prior to this Doug?

 

[doug boardley]

Ultra and Weber and occasionally Mapei Ultracolour. Out of those three I liked Ultra the best, but if yesterdays impression of tilemaster 3000 is owt to go by, I'll be using that from now on.

Where you get that from then?

 

[doug boardley]

My supplier in Kendal has switched from Ultra (Instarmac) to Tilemaster addy and grout.

 

[John Benton]

You tried the addy yet?

Just make sure you follow the mixing instructions to the letter Mark, I know one guy who is being sued for shaded Butec grout.
