grey grout colour with subway tile in bathroom
Comments (36)@Slough Shark we are just getting started with the master bath in our new (budget) build- although we have hired a reputable tiler to do the tile work. 4x16 white glossy subways for the shower walls and grey pebble mosaic for the shower floor. Bathroom floor tile is a dark grey and I am struggling to pick a grout for the floor tile. I want to use the same color for the mosaic and hexagon floor tile. Looks like your floors might be about the same color... could you post a pic of the floor tile? Im considering pewter or dove gray from custom building products. i am now debating choosing rolling fog instead of platinum for the subways after seeing your results!!...See MoreWhy porcelain bathroom tile has dark / wet spot?
Comments (31)Hey sam, what ended up happening with this? I just finished a bathroom reno a couple weeks ago and I noticed the same kind of thing on some but not all of my vertical subway tiles on the edges in certain areas of the shower. I noticed it after a long shower. I waterproofed everything behind the tile, used hardibacker with redgard and a quality modified thinset as well as one of the best grouts on the market (can be used in pools) Did you end up leaving it? Is it still holding up?...See MoreWhat color bathroom grout should I use?
Comments (13)I've used epoxy grout in 2 showers, light colors, and there is nothing that stains it. It's bomb proof. So if you are only using dark on the floor to avoid staining, explore epoxy with your tiler. Some tilers won't use it because it's more difficult. Some here will say it's overkill. I LOVE it; you can use anything to clean it, if needed, but it stays so clean that's hardly a worry. Everyone's monitors are different, but it looks like the top 3 grout colors on the second picture would work. Have your tiler do a sample board, esp if you think you have to use dark. I picked a dark color for my last shower floor, but my tiler did a sample and I hated it. He kind of knew it wasn't what would look good and recommended Frost which was perfect. Light but not too white....See MoreWhat color grout for bathroom floor?
Comments (36)@James - If the tile your wide wants to use shown above is Bedrosian Cloe Baby Blue tile (or Equipe Artisan Aqua - same exact tile - Equipe makes it for Bedrosian + a few other retailers) - you REALLY need to purchase a box of the tile and see what it looks like in your space. The first two showers shown by @Beth H. : above are actually both Cloe Baby Blue. I have this tile - fell in love with it when I first saw this photo on Equipe Ceramicas’ website: However, the bathroom I was originally planning on using this for does NOT have any natural light. While the tile was still pretty, it did not look like the above with only artificial light. All of these are the same tile: Also, it changes colors depending upon the exposure (west/south/east/north) + time of day. These two photos are the same shower - has two showerheads on opposite walls: The color shifts between blue and green depending on where it’s installed....See Moremillworkman
