Grout for tile joints has several very important tasks. This is the protection of decorative material from destruction due to the penetration of moisture or various chemicals inside through the seams and giving a beautiful finished look to the repair. If for the first you just need to consult with the store manager and purchase the right material, then for the second you need to have a taste and understand what colors are combined with each other.
Naturally, you can not bother much and just choose a high-quality grout of white color, which will be combined with any shade of tile and any pattern. But you can also make a more interesting design and dilute the facing surface with beautiful shades, because the palette of colors of grout mixtures, especially polymer cement ones, is very wide.
In this article we would like to tell you how to choose the color of grout or fugue for tiles.
- Tone to tone tiles;
- With a difference of 1 tone;
- Contrasting color to the tile;
- Classic white.
But since we decided that choosing a white grout is too simple and uninteresting, let's talk about the first three options.
When choosing any of the options, it is recommended to carry a piece of tile with you in order to perfectly match the grout, whether it is in tone with the tile or completely contrasting.
This way you will create an almost monotonous surface. This is a very elegant, but at the same time difficult solution, since the selection of tiles and grout tone-to-tone task with an asterisk.
It is also a simple selection, since due to the variety of colors, the selection of a grout a little lighter or a little darker is not difficult. If the tile is not plain, then when choosing a grout material, it is necessary to start from the color, which is more on the tile.
As for vertical surfaces, the grout for tile joints is ideal for both a lighter tone and a darker tone. But for floor coverings, it is more logical to choose a grout that is darker in tone. It will look both neater and richer, and there will be fewer cleaning problems during operation.
Since with this option it will be very easy to spoil the surface. But if you have great taste, then why not experiment yourself. But remember that when choosing a contrasting tone of the grout material, you need to pay attention not only to the color of the tile, but also to the other colors that will be present in the room, so as not to overload it.
