I love the floor, but wonder about the expansion and shrinking of the wood, was there a special grout used?

Hello, Thank you for your question. We have not had any problems on this job with the situation you describe. I cannot remember the grout we used. Your tile installer and millworker should work together to come up with the best solution for you. If you should need design help to replicate this floor we are happy to help. Many Thanks
