White subway tile and white octagon & dot tile- Grout help!

10 years ago

Hi all! I will have white subway tile in my shower/tub area and white octagon/dot tile (sold in sheets) on my bathroom floor. Will Mapei Warm Gray for the subways and Mapei Silver for the floor go well with one another? I want darker for the floor. In another bathroom I have the medium gray grout on the floor and have loved it but I went with white grout on subways and it's been hard to keep clean, thus my consideration of the Warm Gray. Has anyone ever used two different grays in the same bathroom? Also, my GC said get all unsanded since it's 1/8 inch lines on the floor? Is that right?

The TCNA standards; for all grout joints 1/8" and over use sanded grout. For all grout joints 1/8" and under, use non sanded. You can see at 1/8" you have a choice. Where possible we always use sanded grout as it is stronger than non sanded.

Have you looked into Fusion Pro (Custom Blend), Plasma (Laticrete), or Flexcolor CQ (Mapei) as a grout? They are virtually stain proof and require no sealing. SUre they will get dirty, but the color will always be perfect.

Yes I did something similar. Our walls are Tec Dove Gray with white subway. Our floor is the original cement mosaic but it's been sealed and is very close to 'Charcoal' colored grout. Definitely glad that I don't have white grout in my shower! This pic best shows the different colors.

Hi! I know this post is 11 years old, but I’m actually considering the same tile and grout for our small hall/kid bath remodel!

White subway tile for the bath/shower walls, with matte all white octagon and dot floor tile. Thinking of white grout (Mapei Avalanche?) for subway and light/medium gray for floor (Mapei warm gray).

What did you end up doing and do you love it still? What color did you paint your walls? I’m considering a light blue-gray. Would you be able to share any photos of your bathroom tiles? Thanks!!
