GROUT OPTIONS
More Than a Filler
Grout does more than fill the space between tiles. It supports the installation, helps protect tile edges, and plays a surprisingly big role in the finished look.
FA, or fine aggregate, grout is a cement-based option commonly used for residential tile installations.
Quartz-enhanced grout offers increased durability and stain resistance while maintaining the look and versatility homeowners expect.
Epoxy grout offers exceptional resistance to moisture, stains, and chemicals. It’s most commonly used in commercial and demanding applications.
Which Grout Is Right for You?
There isn’t one right answer. Consider where the tile is going, how the space will be used, and how much maintenance you want.
Everyday Residential Use
FA grout is a practical choice for many bathrooms, floors, backsplashes, and other residential installations.
High-Moisture or High-Use Areas
Quartz grout offers added durability and stain resistance for showers, wet areas, and busy spaces.
Commercial & Specialty Spaces
Epoxy is often chosen where maximum resistance to moisture, staining, or chemicals is important.
When you're shopping for tile, look at grout options alongside your actual tile.
Seeing the materials together is much easier than trying to imagine the finished combination later.
THE FINISHED LOOK
Color and Grout Lines Make a Big Difference
Grout can quietly blend into your tile or become part of the design. A similar color creates a more seamless look, while contrast makes the tile pattern stand out.
Before Your Pre-Site Visit
Have your grout preference and color, if possible, selected before your ACR pre-site visit.
Choose Your Grout Type
Consider FA, quartz, or epoxy based on the space, performance, and maintenance you want.
Select a Color
Choose a grout color that complements your tile and the finished look you want to create.
