Message from Charlie . . .
Tile is losing market share to competitor surfaces in the residential home because of sanded grout.
Every competitor's product that we compete with for space in the home has evolved into what they are today. With tile, the commercial "fast food" tile installation of the 70's came right in the residential door in the 80's and it's still the same today.
For the past 12 years, I have butt joint all of the tiles in all of my installations, grouting the jobs with unsanded grout. Small, smooth, uniform grout that actually enhances the job. A grout job, where the joints come out perfect every time. I'll say that again -- perfect every time. It's all in the technique, techniques which I am happy to share here on this website, through videos, and in workshops.
