Grouting Square Edge Tiles - TilersForums.com

[Michael Williams]

Hi

I have some tiles that I'm fitting in my bathroom and the edges are squared off not slightly rounded like i've previously had experience with.

With rounded off edges when grouting my grout usually sits slightly set back in the tile recess but if i do this with these square edge tiles you'd see the porcelain colour of the tile.

So my question is, do I grout these so the grout is flush with the tile surface and if so what's the best method please?

Thanks

no im not on about the corners, im on about the main joints for grouting. Think they are called rectified tiles?

oh ok sorry...... yeah grout should be flush with surface of tile.....

It's more down to the grout your using I find tile master grout 3000 perfect for rectified tiles it doesn't slump or wash out and leaves a perfect flush finish.

You often have to go over the joints twice (after letting the first covering take up a bit - harden slightly) then not washing out too much. When you polish the final finish and before the grout has fully set rub across the joint.
