Grout does much more than fill the gaps between tiles. A myriad of grout colors, application styles, and advanced technologies have the power to transform the look and durability of a tile installation. When choosing grout, the most crucial factors are the desired aesthetic and the technical aspects of the tile project. The grout decision requires understanding the project’s intended look, color scheme, tile type/size/pattern and lighting in the space, along with the technical needs for grout installation and long-term performance.
As flooring professionals know, moisture is the enemy that can ruin an otherwise flawless installation. Excessive moisture vapor emission rates are the cause of many failures in both hard and soft floor surfaces, leading to issues such as warping, buckling, adhesive degradation, mold growth and more.

High-flow is the next generation of self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) for delivering the smooth, flat surfaces needed to meet today’s tile setting challenges.

Just three states maintain average temperatures above 50*F in the winter months.
