You will begin to see the grout material begin to dry on the tile surface; this means that the tiles are ready to be washed down to reveal the dry glitter grout. If this sounds right up your street, then we’re here to tell you all about how to make glitter grout work in your home. From where to use it, to mixing and applying it, you’ll find all you need to know right here. Where to use glitter grout?Smaller size rooms are an option too. For instance, a glitter grout bathroom where you’re surrounded by glistening grout on all sides could be a winning idea as long as the room is limited in size. Wipe the grout away with a clean, damp sponge. Don’t scrub it off as this just moves the particles around and can scratch the tile surface You’re Not Limited With Materials: Glitter grout happens to work very well not just with porcelain and ceramic but different types of natural stone, pebble tiles, metal, and especially glass. The translucence of glass makes it an excellent pairing that is widely used with glitter. How do you test grout performance? BS EN 13888, a standard to test the performance of grouts, categorises cement-based grouts as CG and is a useful tool in the specification. CG2 denotes improved performance and CG2A indicates high abrasion resistance. For Wet Environments Test the grout on a small area or edge of a spare tile to see how the glitter looks before committing to sealing the full area

Most of you reading this article will be astounded by the above statement which is, of course, the intention. It’s completely untrue and yet many consumers believe this to be the case. Grout doesn’t just fill the "gaps" or joints, as they’re correctly termed, in your floor and wall tiles. It’s an important material that plays a vital role within the entire tiled finish. Pink, red, blue, and green glitter grout too, are all popular choices. There are even metallic colors such as silver, bronze, and gold glitter grout which can really make an impression. Some companies also offer certain colors in holographic glitter that will sparkle with a rainbow-like effect in the light. Where Can You Use It?

Preparing and applying your glitter grout

We're finding that a dark grey grout is particularly popular with a classic white metro tile,' says Sian O'Neill. 'This shade not only disguises marks, but gives a defined edge to the tile, creating a bold, geometric look that highlights its shape.' Tile grout is only there to fill the gaps between the tiles and stop the dirt getting in, so any old cheap and cheerful material will do, won’t it?" The only thing you need to decide is which glitter grout additive colour best complements your chosen tiles. Do you want a subtle shimmer or a striking contrast? In industrial environments or areas where hygiene is important, an epoxy resin grout will be required to offer the necessary chemical resistance. For example, Mapei Kerapoxy IEG (which is compliant with EC regulation 852/2004 relating to hygiene and foodstuffs) is resistant to animal fats, oils and grease, so it’s an ideal grouting choice for meat processing plants and commercial kitchens. Mapei epoxy grouts also emit extremely low levels of VOC, being classified EC1PLUS under the GEV EMICODE. For Decorative Purposes

When choosing a grout, it’s important to consider the final use of the tile installation. In heavy-duty floor tile applications, such as shopping malls or leisure complexes, it’s logical to choose a grout which is able to cope with the increased demands placed on the flooring. The tiled finish will be required to withstand increased abrasion and more frequent foot traffic.

Complete The Effect: Glitter reflects light so if you can, you may want to position your lighting deliberately so that it is directly hitting your tiles and spotlighting them. Installing your tiles where they get natural light from a window can also work too. Where To Buy Glitter Grout Although many grouts are suitable for use with ceramic tiles, other considerations need to be borne in mind with natural stone. Water used in the preparation of the grout may migrate into the stone through the edges, leaving a ‘picture frame’ effect visible on the surface.

Apart from completing an installation, tile grout provides an appealing aesthetic look, capable of making a bold design statement or creating a subtle effect. It also accommodates manufacturing tolerances within tiles, forms a compressible joint to alleviate minor stresses within the installation (not to be confused with movement joints, which are still necessary) and provides a neat transition between adjoining tiles.A Glimmering Overload: If you would like as much sparkle as possible you can double down by using tiles that have a glittery or shimmering effect themselves. Some glass tiles are actually made with glitter inside the body of the tile. Mother of pearl tiles are another reflective way to go and are famous for their natural iridescence. Glitter grout additives can be mixed into any epoxy, cement or acrylic grout, meaning whatever type of grout you need to seal your tiles, you can still achieve your desired sparkle. Whatever grout you use, the key is to make sure the glitter is thoroughly mixed into the solution for even distribution. Allow grout to set slightly before cleaning grout residue to prevent pulling it out from the joints
