Yet another wood-look tile/grout color question
Hello all! I've seen the numerous wood-look tile/grout questions posted in this forum and wanted to present yet another dilemma. I'm using Marazzi Merona Natural wood tile and have two options for grout: one is darker and one is similar, but not quite the same. I've done a mock up (not a professional job by any means) to try to get a sense of what each grout might look like. I'm torn. The dark emulates the darker edges that real wood planks would have, but the grout will be 3/16" - much wider than spacing between wood planks. The lighter option looks pretty close, but it's a smidge too...orange? I wonder if it'd be better to go with the darker grout rather than a color that's close but not quite there. What do y'all think?

I like a lighter one, but not the one you picked. that one is too red.
And for sure I would NOT go dark.
Mapei, left, two on the right are Custom Products.I like these colors better.
this is their Dapple Gray Merona tile. your lines will be like this. but notice how the grout color is an exact match. neither too dark or too light.
light grout.
more rustic looking tile, same grout spacing, darker color. I think w/this flooring you could get away w/a darker grout color because of the darker veining colors.
this one used a darker grout, but the grout lines are thinner. I wouldn't like it if it had the thicker joints
Merona Natural tile.

Sealers... yet another question/confusion!!!
Comments (10)Didn't get to tiling today :( as the stone place was closed when I got there last night. As I was writing the post, it just crossed my mind that there would be inevitable overlap. I pushed the thought aside. I will look at my sample over the next few days... maybe I will just find another grout and stop making this so difficult. OH- and I just remembered a question I had for you!!! The white tile (red body) I have used is 5x5 and the edges are wavy- yes wavy, like someone had an unsteady hand while cutting, but it's intentional. So there is variability in the grout line size. I am concerned that some of the spaces are quite tight and some are perhaps greater than 1/8". So in the tight spaces, I don't think I could get sanded grout in, yet I am wondering about the wider grout areas? Any suggestions? DH had used epoxy grout like over 10 years ago, and found it difficult, as I thought this may be an answer as there is only one kind, any suggestions on how should I decide which grout?...See MoreYet another BS question! PICS!
Comments (9)Well, it's not wood. It actually sandstone-Marcella Ozark Mountain Gold. It is from a local quarry here in NE AR. There was a very active discussion about the pros/cons of using this several months ago(Think it fell off already). We absolutely love the look and (I) will just have to be diligent. This sample is tame looking. My slab in front of the fireplace was set yesterday. BEAUTIFUL! I need to go out and take a pic to post....See Moremy kitchen plans and yet another backspash question
Comments (4)They have some amazing tiles. Truly creative, but the website is a pain to navigate. I love seeing something different, and they have a lot of that ;)...See MoreYet another question! This coffee table?
Comments (59)Heehee! Four kitties with four legs = 16. ;-) I truly appreciate all of the opinions expressed here. Varying thoughts help me think things through from all angles, DebraW - I thought I could put my hands on the document that lists the paint used in this house but I'm not sure where it is at the moment. I'll keep looking and hope to come across it soon. I'm pretty sure the builder used Sherwin Williams brand but I'm not sure of the colors....See More
