I show you how to grout backsplash tile. It's a pretty basic job but there are a few things that make it a lot less work. You need a good grout float and wipe of as much excess grout as possible. Keep everything clean as you go. Don't over wipe the tile, you will remove too much grout. If you are doing a dark grout, over wiping will remove the colour.

Im not a professional tiler im a carpenter/joiner but I usually tile the floor and walls after ive installed the kitchen, and I used to grout the way you have just done and i wandered why my joints sunk and even grout pushed in or fell out, until my professional tiling mate tiled a kitchen for me and the worst thing you can do is to go diagonally or in the same direction as the joints, You should go across the joints so that the squeegee flicks the grout through the joints and fills the joints completely and wraps round the back of the tiles and then it can't fall out and especially if water gets through it will run down the back of the tiles and cause damp and then the tiles come loose, especially in a shower,
@BrentDarlington
@BrentDarlington 2 месяца назад
How would it wrap around the back of the tile? Unless you don't have enough coverage? You need to pack the grout in but how can you wipe subway tile off without going diagonal? Up and down or left to right there are grout joints. Sounds like you were mixing too wet or too dry. Or using crappy or pre-mixed grout like the stuff from HD
@angelomaurizio1668
@angelomaurizio1668 Месяц назад
Looks great! If you want those tiles painted, is it best to paint them before applying to the wall to avoid losing the grout color? Or those type of subway tiles shouldnt be painted at all?

Can I do these same tile without spacers, and will I be able to get grout in the joints? Thanks
@BrentDarlington
@BrentDarlington 4 месяца назад
It will depend on the tiles and how tight they fit together. A lot of subway tiles don't need spacer so you are probably fine. Make sure you use an unsanded grout

@BrentDarlington

I use Mapei ultra colour FA. It works on all sizes of grout lines. Usually unsanded for grout lines under 1/8" and sanded for over 1/8" for all other brands

I was thinking of grouting wth sanded grout but am I risking scratching my backsplash material if I do that? It looks like yours is unsanded.
@BrentDarlington
@BrentDarlington 2 года назад
If you have tile that is not durable enough to wipe sanded grout on them, they probably won't be a good backsplash tile.
