Glitter grout additives can be mixed into any epoxy, cement or acrylic grout, meaning whatever type of grout you need to seal your tiles, you can still achieve your desired sparkle. Whatever grout you use, the key is to make sure the glitter is thoroughly mixed into the solution for even distribution. Designed to add extra sparkle to even the plainest wall or floor tiles, glitter tile grout guarantees your tile space has a luxurious feel.

The glitter used in both types is not the same as what you’d see in an art supply store. Both varieties use glitter that is specifically manufactured so that its heat and water-resistant, won’t bleed or rust, and is non-toxic for pets and children. So you don’t want to try and make your own glitter grout from regular glitter.

The first is really a glitter grout additive. This variety is usually sold in bags and is mixed with your standard grout before it is applied. It is always smart to test out how your grout looks after you mix it. This will help you to get a feel for just how glittery you like it and whether or not you would like to add more.) The second type is ready mixed glitter grout. This is grout that has been already pre-mixed with glitter. While this type may cost more it is ready to go right out of the container so there is no extra work needed and is just as easy to work with as standard grout.

When it comes to how to make glitter grout for tiles, you also need to think about how much glitter you add to the grout mixture.

Apply glitter grout to tiles Use the sponge side of the pad to remove any film or polymer remaining and to smooth the surface of the joints. Allow the grout to dry for 2-4 hours, then use a slightly dampened scouring pad to remove any residue from the surface of the tiles. The wider and deeper the joints are, the longer the full curing time of the grout. It may be necessary to give the tile surface a final polishing after 24 hours with a dry cloth. As the material dries through water evaporation, it will skin on the surface and keep the material beneath wet for much longer. Avoid subjecting the surface of the joint to water for at least 7 days.
