so why in Australiia they are still using ceramic grout between tiles which is porous ?? why not follow the US where they use non porous grout like epoxy??

[@roselynveren5022]

did you watch the whole video, ceramic grout is more flexible and can deal with movement, epoxy will crack

[@rio20d]

@@roselynveren5022 I still prefer epoxy, I mean you have water membrane under then a grout which is non porous so no water leaks

[@akaza3893]

@@roselynveren5022 I disagree , Epoxy grout is highly resistant to crack, shrink, or discolour, making it ideal for applying in wet areas, such as showers. It's also highly resistant to the harsh chemicals found in cleaning products. It's very resilient material but because of that its more pricey than tradiitonal grout like cement/ceramic grout
