Cement-based (with or without latex), epoxy, and urethane grouts. “All work, and all have their pluses and minuses,” says Dan. Whether you’re working on installing floor tile, a kitchen backsplash, wall tile, or doing any other type of tile job, it’s important to know what your options are. The most common variety used in projects is a cement-based grout. Dan notes that these are also the easiest to use. If you have small joints between your tile (an eighth of an inch or less), you’ll use an unsanded grout, while joints larger than an eighth of an inch call for sanded grout. “Epoxy grouts are expensive, and are usually two-part mixtures with solids and color additives,” Dan says. “They are used mainly for commercial projects, and are much more difficult to install than cement-based grouts, and therefore take more labor.” They can also develop a hard-to-remove haze, and he does not recommend this type for first-time grouters. (He also cautions that some people can also be allergic to epoxies.)
