Grouting metalized tiles ?

Posts: 682 Forumite
I want to grout my kitchen tiling which are metalized tiles. The standard tub of Uni-bond grout says it's not to be used for metal detailed tiles. What should I use?
If I try a test on some spare tiles and it didn't work, B&Q wouldn't accept the tubs return; cost £8.95.
Anybody got any experience of grouting metalised tiles?
From past experience,I'm not confident of getting a correct information from B&Q.
Your info appreciated.

All I can say is read the small print and / or the manufacturer's instruction on any product you think of using.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Try ringing Weber on 0870 333 0070 for their advice. They supply grout to tiling shops and are usually very helpful. This number should be cheaper 01525 7188770

What a great suggestion. Have you read my OP? It reads:-
"The standard tub of Uni-bond grout says it's not to be used for metal detailed tiles".
The Uni-bond tub didn't actually talk to me when I stated "it says". I read it.
The box of tiles are described as metalized tiles , there is no comment on the box regarding which grout to use. The Unibond grout doesn't define metal detailed tiles when stating the grout is not suitable for such an application. Therefore my query is 'metalised' and 'metal detailed' the same thing.
I was going to ask if you work in B&Q but on second thoughts, I don't want to insult their staff. lol'sYou don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing" Large print giveth - small print taketh away. "0 -

Wonder why you bought it then? Can you only read outside in the daylight and couldn't read the instructions inside the B&Q?Happy_saver wrote: »It reads:-

Tile manufacturers hardly ever suggest adhesives or grout makes.Happy_saver wrote: »The box of tiles are described as metalized tiles , there is no comment on the box regarding which grout to use.
You could ask Unibond what they mean, it's their product. Take the telephone directory outside in the daylight......Happy_saver wrote: »The Unibond grout doesn't define metal detailed tiles when stating the grout is not suitable for such an application.

I was turned down by B&Q. I was over-qualified, too intelligent and knowledgeable.Happy_saver wrote: »I was going to ask if you work in B&Q ......
If ever you do want to insult B&Q's staff, I suggest you try your technical knowledge. Should make for an interesting low-level conflict.Happy_saver wrote: ».....but on second thoughts, I don't want to insult their staff. lol'sA house isn't a home without a cat.
