tile grout

Between-square bathroom paste

Tile grout is the paste or cement used to fill the gaps between tiles after they're installed.

It hardens to hold tiles in place, prevent moisture penetration, and create a finished appearance.

Grout comes in various colors to match or contrast with tilework: The white grout between the blue tiles had started to yellow.

Maintaining grout—cleaning, sealing, regrouting—is a perennial home improvement concern.
