Fill the joints with the prepared Mapei Keracolor SF mix using a special MAPEI trowel or rubber squeegee, without leaving any gaps or steps. Remove any excess Mapei Keracolor SF from the surface, by moving the trowel or squeegee diagonally across the joints while the mix is still fresh. This operation may also be carried out with a special machine with a sponge belt. To make removal of the hardened product from the tiles easier, a dampened Scotch-Brite pad or Kerakoll Cleaning Pad, or a rotating, single-head polisher with a felt disk may be used before cleaning with the sponge. With particularly narrow tiles, or in the case of high temperatures or in windy conditions, dampen the joints with clean water. Sometimes you want the tile to steal the show, so you choose a grout color that blends well, and yet other times you want the grout to get the glory, so you choose a grout color that contrasts with your tile. Typically, a herringbone pattern looks best with contrasting grout color, as it lets the visual interest the pattern brings steal the show. Marble tile with white groutWith particularly absorbent tiles and thin tile joints, we recommend that the finish is dampened before grouting.

Choose a contrasting grout color: Use a contrasting grout color when you want to highlight the tile pattern or create a statement with your tile. For example, using a contrasting grout color works really well to highlight the a cool herringbone pattern. It also completely transforms a rather bland tile like a white subway.If the cleaning operation is carried out too soon (the mix is still too runny), some of the mix may be removed from the joints which makes them more subject to changes in colour. On the other hand, if the grout has already set, it will have to be cleaned mechanically which may cause scratching on the surface of the tiles. When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout. If you want a seamless look that’s fresh and crisp, try a white subway tile with white grout. From a distance it will look like one continuous piece and allows countertops to shine. Be forewarned, white grout is hard to keep clean, especially in the bathroom. Read about how white grout in the shower holds up here. Gray tile with white grout In addition to color scheme, you want to think about maintenance. Unfortunately, grout color is hard to maintain. It’s hardest to maintain in areas that have high traffic and/or where the grout is frequently getting wet. Think of floors, behind sinks and in the shower.
