Tile Grout

Colourful Grout Accents To Instantly Transform Your Tiles

 

If you’re wondering whether it is even necessary to do grouting at the time of tile installation, the short answer is yes. Grouting is absolutely important to ensure longevity of tiles, provide good bonding, and also add aesthetic value. Not sure about how grout can add to the aesthetics of your tile? We’ll show you.

Unlike tile adhesives, tile grout comes in a variety of colours, and the Asian Paints SmartCare Cement-Based Tile Grout itself is available in 9 shades, whereas the Asian Paints SmartCare Epoxy-Based Tile Grout is available in 26 shades. However, colour options are one thing. There are also a lot of practicalities involved when deciding the colour of your grout. For example, some colours are just a lot easier to maintain. Also, if you’re looking for a minimalistic decor, it is better to go with grout colours that match your tile. On the other hand, opting for contrast grout colours may help emphasise the edges of the tile and create a more modern, graphic finish. 

Ideas to incorporate the right grout colour for your tile

Dark vs light grout colours

Light colours tend to blend with the entire tiled decor, whereas dark colours create a more dramatic effect. But if you have varied tile colours, you will also have varied grout colours to pick from.

The shade of choice for your grout really depends on what you are looking to create with your design. If you want to highlight the pattern on your tile, a contrast colour is best. If you want a more clean, uniform layout, go for a matching shade that is slightly lighter than the tile itself. However, if you want to highlight a specific colour or accent, like the grey veins in your marble, either go for a close match, or pick a shade darker than that of your tile.

 

Grout usually darkens over time in highly used areas, and cement-based grout is especially prone to this. It is important to factor this in while choosing a grout shade.

Easy to maintain grout colours

Neutral shades of grout like beige, grey, and other muted colours are definitely the easiest to maintain and clean. They are more common in backsplash areas such as the kitchen and in the bathroom. On the contrary, white grout shades require the most maintenance. They should be used in less traffic areas. For high traffic areas, it is best to consider white tiles on a light grey grout.

White grout can really elevate the look of the decor, when paired with the right tile. White tile with white grout can give a minimalist look, whereas, white grout with slim rectangular or hexagonal interlocking patterns of dark tiles gives a more modern, edgy look.

Grey grout

Black grout

Black grout against light coloured tiles creates a modernist, chic feel. It is ideal for accentuating tile interlocking patterns. However, black grout with black tiles can also make a space appear smaller, and this factor must also be considered.
