Grout

Grout ties your tile installation together, and this category covers everything you need to install, seal, clean, and repair it with professional results. Explore tile grout options—sanded, unsanded, epoxy, and premixed—plus additives, color-matched caulk for movement joints, penetrating grout sealer, and targeted grout cleaners and haze removers.

Find the right grout tools for flawless finishes: rubber grout floats pack joints without scratching delicate surfaces; margin trowels reach tight corners; mixing paddles and graduated buckets deliver consistent batches; grout bags place mix precisely on stone and masonry; pro sponges and microfiber cloths shape joints and lift haze; grout saws, rakes, and oscillating blades speed removal; sealer applicators and detail brushes make protection fast and even. Joint spacers and wedges help you maintain uniform lines before you spread grout.

Quick buying and usage tips:
- Choose sanded grout for 1/8 to 1/2 inch joints on ceramic and many stones; use unsanded for glass, polished stone, and joints under 1/8 inch.
- Pick epoxy grout for showers, entries, and commercial kitchens where stain and chemical resistance matter most; cement-based mixes suit most floors and are easier to work.
- Polymer-modified or latex additives boost flex and adhesion over plywood or heated floors.
- Mix to a creamy, peanut-butter consistency, let it slake, then remix for smooth spread and color uniformity.
- Clean with minimal water to prevent washout; finish with a dedicated grout haze remover after initial set.
- Seal cementitious grout 48–72 hours after cure with a penetrating grout sealer; reapply yearly in high-traffic spaces.
- Refresh tired lines with grout colorant; spot-fix using a grout saw, dust control, and small-batch mix.

Estimate coverage by tile size, joint width, and tile thickness, and use calculators to plan quantities. Shop trusted brands and stock PPE—gloves, knee pads, eye protection, and respirators—for safer, cleaner grout work. Get lasting, beautiful tile joints.
