Filing a Construction Complaint is the last thing anyone involved wants to think about after completion of — or worse yet — during the project. As with all trade work, expectations and performance in workmanship and materials can be challenging and have different meanings for the different stakeholders of each job. During the design phases of a project, even the best efforts often overlook the most appropriate tile grout for the assembly. Unfortunately, when it comes to tile installations, grout callbacks are on the top of the list.
How does an architect or tile contractor select the right type of tile grout for a project? The design team or owner can pick colors to enhance or complement the tile palette, but will just any grout perform long-term under the conditions experienced within the facility? Of course, tile contractors typically want a grout that has ample working time in various conditions, fills joints easily and completely, dries fast and cleans up with the least amount of time and effort.
