Re: dark floor tiles and grout in wet areas 15Feb 14, 2012 11:11 pm mary23... are the floor tiles textured or mottled at all or are they a flat colour? do you think that would make a difference? what sizes for the floor & wall did you go for? Re: dark floor tiles and grout in wet areas 16Feb 15, 2012 9:32 am We have matte tiles on the floor and gloss on the walls.. darkish brown floor with similar grout and I have no problem keep them clean.. They show up water easily but they dry quite quickly too.. Not as easy to mop though, but I mop them every second time rather than everytime I go our gloss main floor tiles.. Gloss ones on the wall are great also, although an almond colour, not white. (you've seen pic in other thread).. They always look quite clean and are quite easy to clean also..

WORLD CONCEPT HOMES Our build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44725 Re: dark floor tiles and grout in wet areas 17Feb 15, 2012 11:02 am As with many others above I opted for dark floor tiles (charcoal) with dark grout and light wall tiles (white) with light grout. I'm really happy with the look and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Here's a pic FYI (obviously taken during construction; I'm not usually that messy lol) http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af135/grom40/George018.jpg Interesting that others have said to steer away from matt floor tiles; mine are matt and I have no issues with keeping them clean. Good luck with the tough decision making process Re: dark floor tiles and grout in wet areas 18Mar 23, 2012 7:52 pm Hi guys. Not sure if this thread has died, but if not... We are also doing charcoal / ash tiles on the bathroom floors (grey granite in the ensuite and powder) with white walls. Question: how much did you pay for the darkened grout? We originally planned on doing darker matching grout but the quote we got was $12 p/sqm which just seems outrageous! The cheaper option is to use the standard cement colour grout (our tiler has two standard - white and cement). Has anyone used the cement coloured one and was it OK? Or what did you pay for matching dark grout?

The cheaper option is to use the standard cement colour grout (our tiler has two standard - white and cement). Has anyone used the cement coloured one and was it OK? Or what did you pay for matching dark grout? we didn't have to pay for any type of grout. we chose our tiles before tender but we did not finalise our colour selections, eg colour of grout, until just before contract signing. either the builder didn't bother to change anything after tender OR the builder has already added the cost of most expensive grout into our tiles since the very beginning. dark floor tiles and grout in wet areas 20Mar 23, 2012 9:54 pm It cost us $180 to upgrade the grout colour for the ensuite, bathroom, toilet, laundry and front porch.
