Most of you reading this article will be astounded by the above statement which is, of course, the intention. It’s completely untrue and yet many consumers believe this to be the case. Grout doesn’t just fill the "gaps" or joints, as they’re correctly termed, in your floor and wall tiles. It’s an important material that plays a vital role within the entire tiled finish.

Glitter grout looks particularly pretty used alongside shiny glass mosaics, quartz tiles and tiles with a polished finish, but in truth you can use them with any tile you choose. How do you test grout performance? BS EN 13888, a standard to test the performance of grouts, categorises cement-based grouts as CG and is a useful tool in the specification. CG2 denotes improved performance and CG2A indicates high abrasion resistance. For Wet EnvironmentsIn industrial environments or areas where hygiene is important, an epoxy resin grout will be required to offer the necessary chemical resistance. For example, Mapei Kerapoxy IEG (which is compliant with EC regulation 852/2004 relating to hygiene and foodstuffs) is resistant to animal fats, oils and grease, so it’s an ideal grouting choice for meat processing plants and commercial kitchens. Mapei epoxy grouts also emit extremely low levels of VOC, being classified EC1PLUS under the GEV EMICODE.

The glitter used in both types is not the same as what you’d see in an art supply store. Both varieties use glitter that is specifically manufactured so that its heat and water-resistant, won’t bleed or rust, and is non-toxic for pets and children. So you don’t want to try and make your own glitter grout from regular glitter. Colors That Span The Spectrum Whilst preparing the grout, you must be wearing protective gloves. Upon opening the Mapei Kerapoxy Design Tub, you will see two components within the tub; a filler and a reaction hardener.

More Lines Equal More Glitter: By simply choosing a smaller tile size it will mean you have more grout lines which in turn equals more sparkle. For this reason, mosaic tiles are a favorite choice.Smaller size rooms are an option too. For instance, a glitter grout bathroom where you’re surrounded by glistening grout on all sides could be a winning idea as long as the room is limited in size. At the other end of the scale, highly decorative products – like Mapei Kerapoxy Design - can add to a surface aesthetic and dry to a translucent finish that’s particularly effective when used with glass tiles or mosaics. The impervious grouts are available in a spectrum of designer shades and can even be enhanced by the addition of light gold or silver glitter, making a grout joint a design statement in its own right.
