(BPT) – When it comes to interior design, nothing can beat the classic elegance of tile. The versatile material can be used in just about any room in a home or office building. Whether you use ceramic or stone tile for kitchen backsplashes and countertops, bathroom flooring and shower walls, fireplace mantles or lobby floors, it has the power to transform and elevate a space’s design.
Because of its timeless style and durability, demand for tile has increased in residential and commercial sectors. According to a report from Technavio, the ceramic and natural stone tile market is expected to grow 7.19% annually through 2028. It’s not hard to see why tiling is so popular. Its versatility, durability and aesthetic appeal make it ideal for interior and exterior applications that will stand the test of time.
As the demand for tile in construction projects increases, contractors will need to find ways to efficiently install tile so they can quickly move from one project to the next. To do so, they’ll need the right products to do a great job on a tight schedule.

Tiling can be a time-consuming process, and grouting is one aspect of tiling that can take a while. Between mixing, applying and waiting for the grout to dry, contractors can lose a lot of time on a project. That’s why choosing the right grout is crucial for an efficient tile installation project.

The professional-grade grout is easier to spread than traditional grout and easier to clean than cement or epoxy grout.
