The consumption of the finished solution depends on three factors:

aesthetic load – the gaps formed by filling with colored grout improve the visual perception of the tiled floor surface.
There is no strict regulation regarding the width of the gaps between tiles, although there are certain rules dictated by common sense and aesthetic expediency. The first recommendation suggests correlating the width of the seams with the size of the tile itself. There is a direct relationship here - the larger the tile, the wider the seam. The logic is simple - with temperature fluctuations, a large element of the cladding will change its linear dimensions more than a small one, so a larger gap is needed. This does not contradict aesthetics either.

The second rule concerns temperature conditions. Ceramic tiles ghana mobile database over heated floors or on outdoor surfaces are subject to greater temperature deformations than tile surfaces used at a constant room temperature, so in these situations it is better to sacrifice the aesthetic component and make the gaps a little wider.

Grouting


A tiler should know not only how to lay porcelain floor tiles, but also be able to properly fill the gaps between tiles and form smooth, durable seams. The choice of grout mixture depends on the expected humidity in the room where the floor is being finished. For a hallway or kitchen, a regular mixture based on cement, mineral and organic additives, such as Ceresit CE-33, is suitable. In a bathroom, shower or laundry room, where the floor surface is constantly in contact with moisture, it is more appropriate to use a water-repellent composition containing silicone Ceresit CE-40 or an analogue from another brand. Silicone grout will be more appropriate on heated floors or for external cladding.
