Totally over my head I am afraid.

Radio 1??? Is it new ?

Was merely enquiring if your 'grout test' was carried out under lab conditions or under the same circumstances to Geoff
 
Ah. I'm not sure quite as advanced as Geoff's mine didn't make it out of the bathroom.

I did try to get the data from a manufacturer I will try again.

To do it in the lab a defined test would need to be written. So does soap for instance affect this ? (I know it makes it happen faster).
I will have a think. I have someone who needs a project and to learn some measurement techniques.

I think I can actually hear the tap-tapping of tile manufacturers adding your email address to their spam/ blocked contacts😀

Without sounding too disrespectful (which this will sound), I don't think anybody here is particularly interested in developing this further. A photo of me in my pants in the kitchen boiling tiles yes, but not a hypothesis on if soap affects water absorption.

You've been a good sport James, and I value your contribution to the forum.
 
No worries

I'm interested to see how a water laiden system absorbs water along the lines of tiles adhered to plasterboard and grouted. I stand on this type of system everyday so be nice to know what's really happening.

I will look forward to many more interesting posts.
