Will I regret white grout on a backsplash? With Grout Maximizer?
Comments (5)Fun, I used epoxy grout in the bath surround. Yes it needs more cleaning to remove, but not the horror stories I've read. I did use a tile sealer on the top of tile before grouting and often wonder if this made a difference. As with all reviews you are going to read the rough adventures. I can't remember if those who had problems were new at grouting or the type of epoxy used. The process and manufacturer is never really mentioned. Why not try it on a small board? I probably used this on a couple of square feet at a time and cleaned off as I went. My spacing is 1/4". It looks great, smooth and clean. Is as hard as regular grout, not sure why others had an issue with it staying soft. And I used a premix, which many said to stay away from. I haven't had to do anything with mine for 5 years. Will add that it looks a bit different than normal grout, but you would have to look close. Wipes down right along with tile whenever wanted. It definitely seals between the tile. Take a chance and sample it before the big job. They have small containers. Also, even though this worked for me and I would do it again, there is always the norm of wanting what has always been. Standard grout can still be the norm for many....See MoreBacksplash? No backsplash? What kind of backsplash?
Comments (25)didn't have time to read all the answers. I have no backsplash and have never regretted it...been over 6 yrs. It is painted with BM matte...which has ceramic in it. It is as beautiful now as it was when first painted. I love the fact that I can showcase other things ...art etc in my kitchen and no competition. Also if I ever want to change it is as quick as a paint brush...expense is minimal..paint only ! All in all I think it is serene as you point out . Here is one pick. Since I have a lot of high heat cooking in my kitchen..built in deep fat fryer as well as gas cook top I can definitely speak to the longevity of paint only. c ( more at this album )...See MoreChange Grout Color on New Backsplash
Comments (11)Congratulations on your beautiful new space! What kind of grout did you use? Sanded or unsanded? Epoxy? As others have said, you might want to wait to see how you feel about it. If you decide you want to make a change, and you used a regular cementicious grout you can change the color with a grout colorant. Polyblend Grout Renew performs very well for this purpose, and they have several greys to choose from, including Cape Gray below....See MoreWhat color grout would you use for backsplash?
Comments (3)Thanks J Hack.......it has both gray and brown in it with a strong lean to earthtones, which I think will allow me some flexibility when making color changes to the room. I was thinking of using a light grout color, but wondered if it would look okay between the accent or be to stark....See More- 23 days ago
