Shower Floor Tile Grout Lines

Small tiles such as the 4 inch by 4 inch style commonly used on bathroom and kitchen walls often are self spacing.
Shower floor tile grout lines. They have small protrusions called lugs that fit against adjoining tiles and create an automatic space for grout normally 1 32 to 1 16 inch wide. Spaces larger than 1 8 inch need sanded grout. There is less irregularity with rectified tiles so less spacing is needed between each piece. Allow the paste to set for a few minutes to work its magic and then give the grout lines one more agitating scrub for good measure.
When installing tiles in a shower the grout is an ordinary portland cement mixed with powdered pigments and water. Polymer additives ensure flexibility and color quality. Next rinse the area thoroughly and use a cloth to wipe the surfaces clean. This might include any grout along shelves corners and floor tiles or the grout and tile that surrounds the shower drain.
If the space is less than 1 8 inch you should use unsanded grout. A tight 1 8 grout space will allow the pattern to flow nicely from one tile to the next. Lay out your tiles first to determine how much space needs to be sealed between each row. Epoxy grout is the best choice for showers because is water and stain resistant and requires no sealing.
A rectified edge allows for smaller grout lines because the tile has been more precisely cut unlike our other handmade tiles.
