    It is created with a grapevine jointer, which is a metal blade with a raised bead that creates an indented line in the center of the mortar joint. These lines are often rough and wavy, simulating the generally straight yet slightly irregular appearance of a grapevine. It is commonly used on matte-finish and antique-finish brickwork.

    Grout sealer is a water-based or solvent-based sealant applied over dried grout that resists water, oil, and acid-based contaminants. Grout cleaner is a basic cleaning solution that is applied on grout lines and removes the dirt and dust. [9] A die grinder is used for faster removal of old grout compared to a standard grout saw.

  4. Tuckpointing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckpointing

    The term tuckpointing derives from an earlier, less sophisticated technique that was used with very uneven bricks: a thin line, called a tuck, was drawn in the flush-faced mortar, but left unfilled, to give the impression of well-formed brickwork.

Ceramic tiles for use in wet areas can be made more slip-resistant by using very small tiles so that the grout lines acts as grooves, by imprinting a contour pattern onto the face of the tile, or by adding a non-slip ...

  8. Thinset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinset

    The history of thinset dates back to the post-World War II era when the tile industry sought more efficient methods for tile installation. [7] Before thinset, the standard method for installing tiles was the thick-set or mud-set method, which involved a thick layer of a sand and cement mixture.

  9. Non-shrink grout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-shrink_grout
