Choosing the Right Grout & Mortar

While the tile that you use on your floors or walls is important, the grout you choose is equally important. Tiles don&#;t completely cover the entire floor or wall area, so the gaps between each tile are filled with grout. Grout complements the tile and floor and protects them from water and moisture. The most common colors are black grout and white grout.

Pre-colored grout gives you the ability to add a custom-designed look to your tiles. When grouting tile, you can use grout to match the tile color and create a cohesive look or use a contrasting grout color to set the two apart &#; the choice is yours. There&#;s a range of colored grout to choose from to meet your needs.

Black grout works well with white and other light-colored tiles when you want to create a high-contrast look. This contrasting look also works well if you&#;re creating a pattern such as herringbone, brick bond or hexagon. If you&#;re going for sheer drama, black tile with black grout can&#;t be beat.

Brown grout is a good, solid color that pairs well with subway tile. It&#;s a great neutral color that adds warmth to a space. For rooms with brick, leather or wood, brown coordinates subtly without being too overpowering. 

To unify a design, choose a warm shade, like gray or off-white grout, or a shade that&#;s closely matched or two shades lighter. 

Choosing a grout color that&#;s the same color as the tile will help make the space feel larger. For example, choosing white grout to go with white tiles, such as subway tile in a bathroom, visually opens up the room. White also looks good with gray, blue-gray and light gray tiles.

Multicolor tiles can be difficult to pair with grout, but there&#;s an easy way to determine what color may work best. Select the most prominent color in the tile and go with a similar shade of grout. For example, a shade of orange grout works for tiles that are a blend of grays, greens and rusty oranges, unless you want to go for contrast.

Tintable grout is a newer alternative to pre-colored grout in indoor applications. Tints are added to a light or dark grout base for a custom color.

To get a better feel for how any grout will look with the tile before you buy, look at the tile and grout side by side. Make sure the grout color you choose can be used with your tile. A few key points to remember:

• More porous tile could absorb coloring from the grout. 

• Lighter colors often show stains more easily unless your grout is sealed. 
• Darker grout may fade over time.
