What is Grout?
Grout is a cement-based mixture used to fill the gaps between tiles. It locks tiles in place, prevents moisture infiltration, and provides a finished look.
The three main types are sanded grout (for joints 1/8 inch or wider, contains sand for strength), unsanded grout (for narrow joints, smoother finish), and epoxy grout (premium, stain-resistant, professional grade).
