The exterior of a building defines its beauty and makes a first impression on the visitors. Selecting the correct tile and stone products for the walls & flooring outside the building makes a huge difference to the finish, look & life of the façade.
Understanding the Role of Grout in Exterior Tile Applications
When tiling or cladding exterior floors or walls, you should ensure the substrate you’re attaching the tiles is suitable and will bear the load of the tiles you’re fixing. Most exterior tiles are quite large, and will therefore require less grout as fewer tiles will be required to cover an area, resulting in fewer joints. So, the tile joint has to be strong.
