We will always get confused while selecting these two things for the better quality and performance with best price. Applying the right adhesive is the first step for fixing tile strongly and to look good. Let’s discuss about the right adhesives and grout to use best.

Mainly there are two types of adhesives 1. Ready mixed adhesive – it is easy to use and suitable for fixing wall tile only. It can’t be used for fixing big stone tile or wet tiles.

2. Powdered adhesive- this type of tiles can be used for procelain tiles and tiling in wet areas. This should be mixed with water. They are strong and intensive and high drying consistency than ready mixed adhesive.

Grouts are the mortar that fills the tile gaps to provide a smooth and finished work to tiles. Grouts are of mainly three types like 1. Un sanded grout- Cement based grout which is a mixture of Portland cement, pigments and water. This type of grout is for tiling one-eighth of the inch.

2. Sanded grout- used for larger grout joints and it is same like above grout with some mixtures added to it.

3. Epoxy based tile grout- mixture of resin and hardener available both in sanded and unsanded grouts. It is water proof and more resistant than cement based grout.
