In any modern apartment, tiles are used. It can be either a bathroom or other rooms. The rapidly expanding assortment inevitably leads to an increase in the number of fans of this type of finishing material.
More recently, only cement mortar was used to seal tile joints. After a short period of time, the situation in the field of building materials has changed rapidly. Grouting for tile joints began to be made in different colors and on fundamentals that differ from each other.
Before choosing a shade, first of all, you need to determine the type of material. Today, the consumer is offered grouting based on cement, silicone and epoxy.
When considering the color of the grout, it is important to remember that the selected shade will significantly affect the overall appearance of the room. For a more accurate selection, it will not hurt to take a sample of the laid tile with you. This will help you choose the most matching color.
The hue of the selected grout is determined based on such factors:
- Necessary effect;
- Type of tiles;
- The location.
In order to achieve the effect of a solid floor covering, it is not recommended to use a grout of colors opposite to the shade of the tile itself. It is best to choose tones that are slightly different from ceramic elements. But to separate each element separately, on the contrary, it is better to make a bright, delimiting outline.
If the grout also carries the function of zoning the room space, then it definitely should not be dark in color or similar to the floor surface.
The joints of the floor covered with light or white tiles, it is not recommended to close the white fugue with a cement base. She will very quickly lose her attractive appearance, get dirty and turn gray. To eliminate this, it is better to give your preference to cement grout. She will be able to keep her color for a long period of time.
Fugue for the floor must necessarily have dirt and water-repellent property. Such material is much more expensive than analogues, but it justifies the cost.
When choosing a grout for flooring, it is important to consider not only the harmonious combination of colors, but also pay due attention to the composition of the material. Light outflows of grouts that do not have special properties tend to wear out quickly and change color.
