2. Grout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grout

   Tiling grout is often used to fill the spaces between tiles or mosaics and to secure tile to its base. Although ungrouted mosaics do exist, most have grout between the tesserae. Tiling grout is also cement-based, and is produced in sanded and unsanded varieties, which affects the strength, size, and appearance of the grout. [6]

3. Non-shrink grout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-shrink_grout

   Non-shrink grout is a hydraulic cement grout that, when hardened under stipulated test conditions, does not shrink, so its final volume is greater than or equal to the original installed volume. It is often used as a transfer medium between load-bearing members.

4. Caulk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulk

   Caulk (also known as caulking and calking) [1] is a material used to seal joints or seams against leakage in various structures and piping. The oldest form of caulk consisted of fibrous materials driven into the wedge-shaped seams between boards on wooden boats or ships. Cast iron sewerage pipes were formerly caulked in a similar way.

5. Sealant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

   A caulking sealant has three basic functions: It fills a gap between two or more substrates; it forms a barrier due to the physical properties of the sealant itself and by adhesion to the substrate; and it maintains sealing properties for the expected lifetime, service conditions, and environments.

6. Saltillo tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltillo_tile

   Saltillo tile is highly porous, and soaks in liquid easily. Unlike most ceramic tile, there is no glaze on the top surface of the tile. It is difficult to install as it absorbs water from the thin-set mortar, grout, grease pencils, etc. Once placed, it stains and scuffs easily if not properly sealed and maintained with a quality sealant.

7. Cement tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_tile

   Cement tiles are not fired; there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. They derive their durability from the combination of finely dehydrated ground Portland cement layer and a coarser layer of sand and cement. The pigment layer is hydraulically pressed into the surface and becomes a part of the tile.
