Quick Start
- Measure your wall or floor. Height × width = square feet. Add 5–10% extra for cuts and waste.
- Check your surface. It should be clean, dry, solid, and fairly flat.
- Pick your grout style. You can squeeze grout with a bag for a classic look or use a float for a fuller joint.
- Gather tools. Tape measure, level, trowel, saw or shears for cuts, grout bag or float, sponge, safety gear.

Grout Made Simple
Grout with a bag
Mix grout, fill a grout bag, and squeeze it into the joints. Smooth with a jointer. Great for textured brick faces.
Grout with a float
Press grout across the surface, then wipe the face clean with a damp sponge. Works well for smoother faces. Make a small test area first.
