Spoke to a few people and they can't think of any shiny grout.

Someone did say that you can use grout sealer and the more you put on the shiner it gets, not sure about this thou. Don't know what any of the other guys will say on that.

Sorry not very much help.

Cheers.

Hi

Is the customer referreing to a "glitter" type grout.

We have an epoxy design system that you add gold or silver glitter fragments to a neutral coloured epoxy. The result can be very effective

I can't think 0f a single grout manufacturer who would advocate that:huh2:

 

[wetdec]

But then nail varnish and gloss paint arnt ideal either we are brain storming are we not to try and help the guy out not criticizing each others ideas.

Tiler,

Don't get your knickers in a twist. Nobody is criticising. Grout colourant works and will give the effect with the added benefit of a waterproof epoxy stainproof finish as well.

Lads Lads Lads i was only asking a question I think I might just tell him that it's best just to stay the way it is. Thanks for all the replys made me chuckle a bit though.

I dont think colourant makes the grout shiny. Although it is good stuff.

The only shiney Grout I've seen is BAL Epoxy LV, or floor

Yes Danny it is better to use a product that has the desired effect all the way through rather than use a so called colourant or sealer that could wear off.....

Has to be epoxy for me as well........

 

[TilingLogistics]

Grout colourant is epoxy
