help with grout color selection needed
Comments (9)Not to throw a monkey wrench in your plans but have you checked Mapei epoxy grout?? If still want to go with SpectraLoc from Laticrete could look at silver shadow, light pewter, smoke grey, sterling silver, natural grey, slate grey, or platinum. I would bring the tiles with me to the store and see which color stick sample looks best....See MoreNeed help after grouting tile...Grout color covered white tile...
Comments (27)Yvette Im sorry your upset, It does look lighter in todays photos to me. You have very poor photo quality and in truth you are comparing a Showroom floor with white marble or glass contrast relfecting and a complete different lighting schematic to your tub alcove. There is some solice in lighting. This is repeated on these forums time and again. Stone itself comes in dye lots and VERIES drastically. Stone wicks moisture, from thinset substrate and grout as it cures it gets darker before it lightens. Some thinsets can take 30 days to fully cure, some portland grouts do normalize over 7-10+ days. and there is a dozen things that can go wrong with hand mixed and installed grout. I cannot see close enough the details of your install but I can tell you I have had to watch sales people at tile shops like a hawk in that they are usually not a person to take advise from. Can you be 100% certain they sold you the proper color/brand or did they sell you something similar to sell you something. ? You should have more recourse if you Payed a tile professional to source and purchase the materials themselves grout included and if you have a contract and stayed hands off. One thing homeonwers dont consider when they get involved with these things is the importance of putting all the liability in the contractors hands to afford recourse. People that do the shopping finding deals choosing materials, and then hiring labor have little to no recourse so i hope thats not you.. I suggest further patience and see how it lightens, play with lighting and start to focus on other aspects of your room.....See MoreNEED HELP! - What color grout for MSI Greecian White Octagon floor?
Comments (13)We use TEC Power Grout which is a sanded product - but it is not the same as the standard sanded grout. Do not use a standard sanded grout and do not use an epoxy grout. TEC Power Grout may not be available in box stores (not sure) but would be available in many tile stores....See MoreSelecting grout color for pool tile
Comments (1)Yes, you should have been given the option. I suggest materials, colors, etc.. to my clients, but ultimately it's their choice in the end....See MoreMystic Pools, LLC
