Hi,



I just watched a youtube video and a guy said that you should use a sanded grout for floor tiles only and only when space between tiles is greater than 1/8" and for everything else you should use an unsanded grout.
I am really confused. I was recommended and I am ready to use a sanded grout for wall tiling project with space between tiles 1/8".


Thanks

Grout lines that are 1/8" is the dividing line. Either sanded or unsanded can be used in 1/8" grout joints with no problems.


Sanded grout can be used most anywhere you want to use it IF the joints are 1/8" or more. The guy on You-Tube has no idea what he is talking about if he said sanded grout was only for floors. That's nonsense!

What Bud said. What determines sanded or unsanded is the width of the joint. For wider joints, the sand is a binder. Unsanded grout will not last in wider joints.
