Choosing Grout

Laticrete makes some of the best grouts on the market
I've done dozens of showers & tiling projects using their grouts

All of their grouts have a very fine aggregate in them
An aggregate strengthens a grout joint & provides longevity
Most of them can be used down to 1/16" grout joints

A very popular and easy to use grout is Spectralock1 https://amzn.to/3wGBZXZ
For demonstration of use check out these sections in other courses:

For this shower we will be using Permacolor Grout (Twilight blue) https://amzn.to/3Ioswa2
This is considered a high performance grout that is fast setting and can be used on 1/1/16" grout joints


Permacolor does not have to be sealed, but I highly recommend it for areas of continual use
A sealer will maximize stain protection
Although twilight blue is so dark I can't imagine it getting any stains

For white or light color grouts, I highly recommend Spectralock Pro Epoxy Grout https://amzn.to/3PGU8v7
Its the best epoxy on the market in my opinion
Super fine aggregate & stain resistent

Ardex makes some of the best sponges out there https://amzn.to/49KVUn5
Its hard to switch after using these for so many years


A good grout float makes a world of difference too

My other grout recommendations:

Mapei FA High Performance Grout:


Spectralock Pro Epoxy is actually my favorite epoxy! Easy to use & super stain resistant


Spectralock1 is the only ready to use premix that I recommend (nonwhite colors)

Laticrete Permacolor Select would be my second choice for high performance grouts
