| 2009-05-25 | Linnea | 8 | 10 | 8 | 10 | No | The answer was clear, but I guess I'm still curious as to the why's. as in, WHY can't I add sand to grout to get sanded grout?? Inquiring minds want to know! |

| 2009-04-14 | Jo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the info. I did opt to try the grout but am concerned it will break away as time passes. I will invest in the colored caulk, remove the recent grout and replace ASAP. Thank you for the info. Much appreciated. |

| 2008-01-14 | Michelle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the response and info. I think I am going to remove the tile floor and start over new. I am also going to use larger tiles I think to reduce the amount of grout lines and possible damage/repair in the future. |

Expertise
I can answer questions about, Grout and ceramic tile restoration and installation. This topic generally focuses on new or old installations that have an existing problem. I can offer advice on how to correct common made installation mistakes. Such as, cementitious grout problems, efflorescence, ghosting, shading, and flash. And tile installation problems such as, floor deflection, slip resistance, loose tiles, vapor transmission and many others. These are just a few of the problems associated with new tile and grout installations. I can also offer advice with restoring old tile and grout problems such as, sealer removal, re-sealing, grout re-coloring, grout repair, and caulking.
