FAQs About Tile grouts and mortars

What are tile grouts and mortars used for?

Can tile grouts and mortars be used for outdoor projects?

• Yes, many tile grouts and mortars are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor projects, it's important to choose products that offer resistance to temperature fluctuations, moisture, and the elements to ensure long-term durability.

How do I choose the right grout or mortar for my project?

What is the difference between sanded and unsanded grout?
