Epoxy Grout: A Reliable Tile Joint Solution We Can Trust from Plastochem
epoxy (2)


When we look for high-quality finishes in our homes or commercial spaces, tile work plays a major role. It’s not just about choosing beautiful tiles—it’s also about ensuring the longevity and finish of the entire surface. One of the most important but often overlooked parts of this is grouting.

As customers, we’ve realized that offer one of the best solutions for tile joints today. They’re not only strong and long-lasting, but also help enhance the overall look of our tiled surfaces.

Understanding Grouting in Construction

Grouting is simply the process of filling the gaps between tiles to make the surface stronger, more durable, and aesthetically complete. And the right grout can make a big difference—whether it’s for our kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, or commercial areas.

Types of Tile Grouts We Considered:

When choosing a grout product, we learned that there are mainly three types of tile joint fillers:

  1. Cementitious Grout
    These are polymer-modified and ideal for standard applications. They do a good job, but we found that they have some limitations when it comes to moisture, strength, and long-term performance.

  2. Epoxy Grout (Our Choice)
    This one stood out. It’s a high-performance option that resists moisture, doesn’t crack or shrink, and doesn’t absorb stains. Perfect for areas that see regular cleaning or water exposure—like kitchens, bathrooms, or even swimming pools.

  3. PU Grout
    A newer resin-based product, it’s ready to use and offers flexibility and water repellency. Great for aesthetic finishes, especially when color uniformity is important.

Why We Chose Epoxy Grout from Plastochem

We had some very specific expectations:

  • Durability – We needed something that could handle daily use, especially in wet or high-traffic areas.

  • Moisture Resistance – Our previous cement-based grout had moisture issues that led to discoloration and tile loosening.

  • Easy Maintenance – Something we didn’t have to worry about regularly cleaning or resealing.

Plastochem’s epoxy grout ticked all these boxes. It’s resistant to household chemicals, doesn’t absorb water, and even helps prevent bacterial growth. For us, hygiene is crucial—especially in kitchens and bathrooms—and epoxy grout made that easy.

Key Benefits We Experienced:

  • No moisture seepage or staining issues, even in wet areas

  • Color stability – no fading or discoloration over time

  • Excellent strength – no cracks or shrinkage

  • Chemical resistance – great for commercial kitchens and pools

  • Stylish finishes – available in many shades, including glitter and glow options

How We Decided Which Grout to Use

We didn’t choose blindly. Here’s what guided us:

  • Purpose of grouting: For strength, hygiene, and aesthetics

  • Color choice: We matched the grout color with our tiles for a seamless look (though contrast is also a stylish option)

  • Application area: We selected epoxy grout for balconies, washrooms, and even our living room floors

  • Longevity: Epoxy grout lasts much longer without degrading like traditional grouts

Epoxy vs. Cementitious or PU Grouts

Here’s a quick customer perspective comparison:

Application Process (What We Observed on Site)

Though epoxy grout needs professional application, the Plastochem-recommended team made the process efficient:

  1. Mixed components as per the brand’s instructions

  2. Applied using a rubber float

  3. Removed excess before drying

  4. Finished with a clean wipe for a polished look

The result? Tight, neat joints with lasting performance.

Final Thoughts: Why We Recommend Epoxy Grout from Plastochem

If you’re investing in tiles, don’t compromise on the grout. From our experience, Plastochem’s epoxy grout is worth every rupee. It performs, protects, and enhances your spaces—whether it’s a cozy home kitchen or a heavy-use commercial space.

We’re happy with our decision—and recommend it to anyone looking for the best in tile joint solutions.
