Many people think that the main function of the grout is decorative, but this is far from the case. Since grout is often used in wet areas, it is important that the grout contains antifungal biocides and water repellents. If the grout is chosen correctly, it not only performs a decorative function, but also prevents moisture and dust from entering the tile joints, and also prevents the development of mold and other pathogens. Grout allows you to strengthen the tile, without it, the coating will soon begin to separate from the walls, requiring re-repair.

Each of us could observe such a phenomenon, for example, in the entrances of new buildings, where in a year or two cosmetic repairs are again required with the replacement of fallen elements.

That is why when choosing a grout, quality plays the first violin. A poor-quality mixture will not save you from mold, which easily starts in the seams, especially when it comes to the bathroom, where high humidity and stagnation of warm air create all the conditions for the development of microflora. Mold that has settled in the seams between the tiles is extremely difficult to remove. She looks ugly, and her spores are harmful to human health. It is important to remember that the cost of grouting is made up of the quality of individual components, each of which affects the aesthetic and functional properties of tile joints throughout the entire period of operation. All this suggests that even such a seemingly trifle as grouting cannot be saved, otherwise you need to be ready to re-repair in 2-3 years.
