Because they think its maintenance free!

It's a laminate board .
It's an acrylic capped ABS. (Which I think is possibly Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
About 2mm ABS and 1mm Acrylic coating. There's no wood backing though.
Is there any way to prevent mould from appearing between tiles? Is there a certain type of grout which helps to reduce mould from appearing?Tiles every time.0
