Grout Follows Tile, Style and Tech

Grout does much more than fill the gaps between tiles. A myriad of grout colors, application styles, and advanced technologies have the power to transform the look and durability of a tile installation. When choosing grout, the most crucial factors are the desired aesthetic and the technical aspects of the tile project. The grout decision requires understanding the project’s intended look, color scheme, tile type/size/pattern and lighting in the space, along with the technical needs for grout installation and long-term performance.

Grout Trends at the Intersection of Technology and Style

Though grout may seem to be a secondary-to-the-tile functional necessity, it is also the essential design element that finishes the look of a tile installation.

A grout line can be very thin or very wide to make a big impact. The many contrasts in grout aesthetics make perfect sense when looking at the trends that influence grout. Trends in technology, tile and color are driving the current changes in grout installation, style and color palette.
