How to Pick Grout
Color
Tips to help you learn how to pick grout color for your new tile.
Choosing new tile is an exciting and fun way to enhance almost any
area of your home. Floors, bathrooms, countertops and kitchen
backsplashes are all areas where tile looks and works great. Usually
the main concern is choosing the right tile but don't forget the
grout color. Learning how to pick grout color involves more than
just matching the color to the tile.
For many homes, the grout color is white. This can work but adding a
bit of color to your grout can do more than just create a winning
coloring combination. Depending on the area where the tile will be
placed, the grout color can play an important role to help prevent
dirt and grime from showing.
Also, if the area is exposed to a lot of moisture, you can deter the
look of mildew and mold on your grout by using a color other than
white. Over time, choosing a color other than white may help to
distract from any stains that may accumulate on your grout.
How to Pick Grout Color
Grout is made from a mixture of water, cement and sand. The grout is
applied as a thick liquid and hardens over time. Almost any
combination of tint can be added to the grouting material, so your
color choices aren't limited. Once the grout sets, the color may be
slightly different from its appearance before it dries. If you're
mixing tints, it may be a good idea to do a test sample and let it
dry to make sure you have just the color you want.
Choosing a dark color grout to compliment light tile can have a
dramatic effect on the overall look of the tiled area. This can work
well especially on floors where you want a classic tile look. Areas
like a kitchen backsplash often blend best by choosing complimentary
color just a tone lighter than the tile. There are no set rules when
learning how to pick grout color. Let your personality and tastes be
your main guide. |
