Choosing Grout for a Tile Shower
🎨Choosing Grout🎨
Laticrete makes some of the best grouts on the market 😊
I've done dozens of showers & tiling projects using their grouts
All of their grouts have a very fine aggregate in them
An aggregate strengthens a grout joint & provides longevity
Most of them can be used down to 1/16" grout joints
A very popular and easy to use grout is Spectralock1 - https://amzn.to/3wGBZXZ
For demonstration of use check out these sections in other courses:

For this shower we will be using Permacolor Grout (Twilight blue) - https://amzn.to/3Ioswa2
This is considered a high performance grout that is fast setting and can be used on 1/1/16" grout joints
Permacolor does not have to be sealed, but I highly recommend it for areas of continual use
A sealer will maximize stain protection
Although twilight blue is so dark I can't imagine it getting any stains 😄

For white or light color grouts, I highly recommend Spectralock Pro Epoxy Grout - https://amzn.to/3PGU8v7
Its the best epoxy on the market in my opinion
Super fine aggregate & stain resistent
