Floor tiles and wall tile grout..

scheming_gypsy

just a quick one..

i'm 90% of the way through tiling my kitchen floor and i want to use a black grout rather than use the grey adhesive / grout i've got. The only black grout i can find is for wall times and has a big cross next to 'floors'.

As i've already laid most of the tiles and got enough adhesive to finish the floor i only need the black as grout. Is there any problem using wall tile grout as floor grout seeing as i'm not relying on it to stick the tiles down?

I'm not sure if you can, maybe it's not waterproof? But I just wanted to say that I once got black grout for floor tiles from B&Q.

it was B&Q i saw it and they just seemed to have grey for floors.. I'm pretty sure it (wall grout) said it was for kitchens and bathrooms so must be waterproof, which is why i was thinking it might just not be good enough to stick them to the floor.

Might just have a look in Homebase

It probably is not a case of it being waterproof but more to do with it flexibility! Tile adhesive and grout for floor tiles is slightly flexible!
