Differences between Epoxy Grout and Cement Grout

Grouting is an essential stage in a tile project. You have to fill the space between tile joints and grout is that material used for this purpose.

Ideally, homeowners, tilers, and DIYers use just any type of grout. But grout should be used based on your project type. For example: the grout that you use in bathroom wall and floor and the grout that you use on your living room floor are different.

Cement Grout –

• Also known as sand-based or sanded grout, cement grout is prepared from a mix of cement and sand.
• If you want to match the color of grout and stone/tile, this is the grout you should pick.
• There is no plastic substance in this grout.
