Grout, whats the difference?

I have bought some grey grout but it says floor grout. I needed it for the walls, I have black tiles and white grout just isnt going to match, can I use this grout or should I return it and get proper wall tile grout?

I just want my kitchen to be beautiful lol

    I would use proper wall grout, floor grout can be a bit rough and could scratch your wall tiles when being applied. You can get colouring for grout.
  • Buy the right stuff.

    Floor grout is a different mix (not as fine). Is it worth spoiling your newly tiled walls for the small price of packet of grout?

    I always use the mantra "Don't spoil it for an 'apath a tar" (Spoken in a traditional Yorkshire accent btw!)
