How to apply grout on tile wall.

Use the float to make sure that every joint is full of grout. When it comes to how to apply tile grout to a wall firstly apply a minimum amount of grout to the front surface of the tiles with a trowel and spread it with a grout spreader. The best technique to use is to adopt long strokes that have an upwards and diagonal direction making sure it spreads completely in between the joints of your tiles. Mix the grout by pouring the water in first and then add the powder and stir with a margin trowel.

Pour a quart to half gallon of grout on the tiles. Mix to a smooth like toothpaste consistency let sit for five minutes then mix again. Then mix your grout until it s smooth and spread it across one section with a trowel. Begin by scooping up a load of grout onto the grout float using one end of the float.

Wider than 1 8 use sanded. On vertical surfaces apply grout upward. Always try to grout diagonally across the tiles so the mixture goes into the gaps. Use this method for both pre mixed and powdered grout.

Apply the grout diagonally across the tile joints to squish the grout into the joints photo 5. If the joint is less than 1 8 use unsanded. Run the flat edge of the float across the tiles to remove the excess grout. Work in a small area at a time roughly a 3 x 3 foot section.

Apply the grout with a rubber grout float filling the joints over a 5 to 10 square foot area. The thickness of your joint will determine if you can use sanded or unsanded grout. Use whichever side or corner of the float is necessary to fully compress grout into the entire joint. To grout wall tiles start by dividing your wall into 3 foot by 3 foot sections so you can work on it before the grout dries.

Do not cover the entire float with grout. Keep applying the grout until the mixture in the joint starts to set. Spread the material in sweeping arcs pressing it into the joints to fill them completely.
