Tile grout and adhesive play a crucial role in your mosaic project. Mosaics are popularly used to design walls, floors, backsplashes, pictures, vases, tables, etc. Most tiles are small, so the tiler must grout them perfectly, otherwise the tiles could come loose from the surface. He should ask his tiler to suggest a good quality grout to fill the gap between consecutive tiles.

First, it is important to calculate the amount of grout needed for the project. The amount of grout mix depends on the total area of ​​the tiles, the thickness of the tile, and the distance between consecutive tiles. Typically the gap is less than 1/8″. If it is greater than 1/8″, you must purchase sand-containing grout. The sand prevents cracking of the grout between the tiles.

The next step is to grout between the tiles. You can prepare the grout mix according to the instructions in the grout brochure. Mix the ingredients in the right amount. Your grout should match your tile surface. You can also seek professional help while choosing a perfect grout color and finish.

Once you prepare the mixture, apply it to the space between the tiles. Spread the mixture evenly, so that it fills the space evenly. Now, clean the extra grout from the tile surface. You can clean it with the help of a soft sponge. Avoid using a cloth, as it causes scratches on the surface. Wipe away excess grout instantly and sponge clean after every cleaning session.

Sometimes the tile surface is stained due to the color of the grout. This happens because you did not use a sealer. Porous tile materials stain due to grout; therefore, you must seal these tiles before grouting. So, take the proper precautions and grout your tiles perfectly.
