All forms of ceramic tile use some type of grout to fill and seal the seams between the tiles.
What grout to use with marble tile.
The grout between the marble tiles becomes dirty and discolored over time with normal use.
As a rule of thumb sanded grout should be used in joints larger than 1 8 in.
Am i ok to use this stuff.
Whether the tile is traditional ceramic porcelain or a quarry tile or natural stone it is critical that the seams between the tiles be adequately filled with a material that prevents moisture from seeping down to the underlayment to maintain this water proof quality all grout will need to be.
But on soft stone tiles like polished limestone or marble use only unsanded grout or you ll scratch the surface.
I am going to install some polished marble tile in a small bathroom floor.
Brand new and great video.
Grout can be cleaned with harsher chemicals and utensils than marble can.
I have seen mention here of epoxy and resin type grout but the stuff i would prefer to use is colored just add water powder like polyblend.

Exercise care to avoid damaging.
Matching grout colors and caulk colors.

Although tile installations can be installed in groutless format the traditional method calls for grout to be placed in the joints between the tiles.
Grout color has a large impact on the appearance of a tiled wall counter or floor.
The grout between the marble tiles is very fine and the same color as the main one in the marble has never got any mildew on it and we rarely wipe it down between showers and only give it a monthly clean.
We also have the same tile on the floor of another bathroom and mosaic marble on the shower floor in that room.
