When it comes to putting tiles together, you will need to use some type of grout to hold everything together. Cement grout is popular in some situations, but another option is epoxy grout. Epoxy grout may in fact be the best choice if you are looking to add new tiling to your shower or any other area where the grout may come into frequent contact with moisture or chemicals. Here's why you might want to look into stocking up on Sikadur 42 grout or another brand of epoxy grout today.

Epoxy Grout Won't Shrink or Develop Other Issues When It Gets Wet

Grout that can't stand up to moisture or water may develop issues with shrinking, cracking, or changing colors over time. With epoxy grout, you can apply it and be done with it, never having to worry about water or moisture on your shower walls causing issues in the days to come. Epoxy's ability to stand up to moisture also means you can use it without ever having to worry about corrosion. It's a non-porous material as well and that means you won't have to add a sealant on top of the grout. You can make one pass over the tile with your grout and then the job will be over without the need for more work, allowing you to get the entire project done more efficiently.

You Can Scrub Your Shower or Anything Else With Harsh Cleaning Chemicals Without Worrying About Rubbing Off the Grout

Epoxy grout won't develop issues due to moisture, but that doesn't mean you don't ever have to worry about cleaning your shower or kitchen tiles. Every homeowner is going to want to wipe down tiling in these areas from time to time, and perhaps you are using a harsh cleaner in order to really restore a new-like appearance to the tile. With some other forms of grout, you might have to worry about especially harsh chemicals rubbing some of the grout off and weakening the tiles. But epoxy grout can stand up to cleaning chemicals without any issue, allowing you to just focus on the cleaning without having to reapply any grout after the job is done.

Epoxy Grout Is Also Impact Resistant If You Need to Use It in a Different Environment
