what colour grout do you think /

[ian158]

Ok so i've finished fitting this kitchen and tiling today..but they want to use white grout, after ive used grey adhesive ! Ive suggested a light grey grout..what do you think...white to in your face and around the range cooker..getting covered in all that grease ! units are a light blue grey...grouting monday...

Bal Gunmetal or smoke. Seal the grout

White! And seal the grout....
Grey errrr

Same customer. Cream metro with gunmetal in their bathroom...NOT MY CHOICE

yep like the white grout with white units...but not sure..anyway there choice..I like the gun metal on those tiles...looks very roman.

 

[Andy Tiler]

Ultimately it's the customers choice!!
They've got to live with it!!!

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Customers choice?
but surely grout colour may have been discussed at quote stage ??

Ceramic tiles in a kitchen splashback yeah?

Grey adhesive + white grout shouldn't be a problem - unless you're suggesting that you expected grey grout, so therefore your joints aren't clean enough for white grout?

As with all my clients I never assume, always ask type of trim , laying preference, colour of grout..they didn't know about trim or undecided about grout..they says "you decide" as it happens I had a bag of grey addy already...but my joints are as clean as my old chap..anyway they have now text and gone for Mapei 111 to match the units..slighty off topic I went to finish of a job that a local guy quotes against me...he had laid the same 200x100 tile In line,No brick bond..and when she came home she was furious...so whilst you always use brick bond on these tiles I never just go ahead thinking what I think is right..

Silver grey, I used that last week on some medium greet 600x300. Came out very nice.

Cream grout , seeing as the kitch is cream , pics posted are white kitchens.

 

[ian158]

The kitchen units are light grey Dave..it looks like cream in photo but they are, I'd say blue /grey

Oh. White then.

Red is a primary colour and works well along side many various colours. Red/black red/gold red/white red/cream

Red white is nice and safe. Red black is sick. Point being I think IMO it will work well whatever colour goes in be it 111 or 100

Re: for all you grey grout sceptics....

..silver grey mapei 111 was an ideal match for the units...very happy they were :hurray:
