Design FX design-inspired grout

Words: Dan KamysDesign FX grout from TEC is a stain-proof, ready-to-use grout inspired by the latest design trends. It is available in crystal, silver and bronze and has a reflective effect that accentuates the glass, mosaic and metal tile. It also complements ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile. Approved for interior and exterior use, the grout can be fully submerged and can provide an accent for water applications, including swimming pools.

Design FX grout resists mold and mildew, repels most common household stains and may be used to grout tile joints from 1/16-inch to ½-inch on floors and 1/16-inch to ¼-inch on walls. The formula never requires sealing, allowing for more efficient installations. The grout is available for purchase in half-gallon containers.
