There are several types of grout on the market, and most are produced with different aspects in mind , grouting can be rigid or flexible ; which u would use if tiles are laid upon a wooden subrate( flexible grout will prevent the grout from cracking and breaking up) you can get grout especially for wet areas as most grouts are not totally waterproof . Personally I always if possible use a grout suitable for use on swimming pools, this product is slightly more expensive but will last much longer .
