Grout is a construction material used to fill gaps between tiles. It helps stabilise the tiles and protect against moisture and debris.

2. How long does grout take to dry?

Drying time varies by product. Most standard grouts take 24 hours to cure fully. Fast-setting options can be ready in 2 to 4 hours.

3. What’s the difference between sanded and unsanded grout?

Sanded grout includes fine sand for added strength and is used for wider joints (over 3mm). Unsanded grout is better for narrow gaps and smooth finishes.

4. Can grout be used outdoors?

Yes, but only specific types. Use waterproof or flexible grout designed for external use. Always check the product specification against site conditions.
