Having the right tile grout tools makes all the difference when you need to get a grouting job done. Use the right tools to prevent scratches and water damage and to keep tiles secure. When applying grout, using the wrong tools damage the look of a freshly tiled project.
Begin with a Grout Float
A grout float pushes the grout into the joints between tiles. It also helps to quickly wipe grout material from a work surface. To efficiently load and evenly spread the grout, try using the flat side of the float. Professionals find that floats and other tile grout tools constructed with rubber parts do a good job of protecting tiles from scratches and are easy to wipe clean.
Craft Detail with a Striking Tool
To get a professionally crafted look work and shape the grout in the joints between the tiles into using a striking tool. Different specialty striking tools create different shapes and types of joints allowing you to create unique designs and features.
Create a Clean Joint with a Grout Bag
A grout bag tool includes a nozzle attachment and a bag to hold grout material. Use this tool to push grout directly into open joints, reducing the risk of unsightly damage to your tiles.
Finish with a Grout Sponge
Wipe away any excess grout and help shape the joints using a specialized grout sponge rather than a regular sponge with squared edges. Using a grout sponge with rounded edges helps keep your project clean and polished while squared edged sponges may pull grout from the joints.
