Portland Cement Grout

Cement Grout is the material visible between tiles. It is used to fill the space between the tiles and to support them. Portland Cement Grout can be water-resistant. However, water or other liquids will most likely penetrate the joint and reach the backing. There are three major classifications of grout

There are two basic types: sanded or non-sanded. Sanded grouts should be used when grout joints are 1/8" or larger. Non-sanded grouts should be used in a joint 1/8" or smaller. 

Both sanded and non-sanded grouts can be manufactured in different colors, with or without coloring pigments.

SANDED PORTLAND CEMENT GROUT
This grout consists of fine graded sand, Portland cement, sometimes water retentive additives, and colored pigments. This grout should be applied to moistened tile, no puddled water in the joint, and damp cured.

NON-SANDED PORTLAND CEMENT DRY-SET GROUT
This grout consists of Portland cement, fine fillers, a water-retentive additive, and colored pigments. This grout is designed for use in tile surfaces that are dry when the grout is applied. The water retentive additive allows the grout to stay moist until the cement cures properly. Without the additive, the dry tile would wick out the water before the cement can cure. Generally, this grout is used for easily scratched tiles and for wall use in joints from 1/32" to 1/8".
