    I know, but the missus is adament she wants it.

    Anyway, we're getting the living room floor tiled and as above she wants white grout. Any suggestions? Make, type of grout? Can you use a sealer on the grout?

    The tiles are just standard porcelain floor tiles.

    Bal are a good make of grout, but you are bonkers to put in white as you know..

    Why not go for a pebble grout? there is a kind of a cream colour that they make.

    Thats brilliant advice. As you say, even the pebble or ivory colour. I'm looking at this but which one would you recommend?

    Bal are a good make of grout. As for the colour, its personal taste, or should I say the oh's personal taste;)

    She'll have you scraping it all out with a stanley in a few months. Make her sign a deal that when it comes time to give up on it, she's doing the scraping.

    Going to go with Fingers, got her thinking about a "creamier" colour, not ideal but better that white anyway.

    Have you EVER made a deal with a woman that when she loses she keeps her end of the deal?:D

    Anyway, appreciate all the help and the vindication that white is a no no.

    if you can get microban in it these days, it might be worth it, its antibacterial, might make it a little easier to keep clean.
