Choosing the right grout is just as important as choosing the right tile adhesive. In 2025, epoxy tile grout has clearly become the preferred choice among professionals, contractors, dealers, and homeowners due to its durability, stain resistance, and long-lasting performance.
Traditional cement grout is still commonly used, but it fails in high-moisture, high-traffic, or premium tile installations.
This blog explains the key differences between epoxy and cement grout, why epoxy grout delivers superior results, and how Mozaic Chemical’s Epoxy Grout offers unmatched performance for modern installations.
What Is Epoxy Tile Grout?
Epoxy tile grout is a two- or three-component system made from epoxy resins, hardeners, and colour fillers. It creates a high-bond, stain-proof, chemical-resistant grout line ideal for premium tile and stone installations.
Primary Advantages of Epoxy Grout
- Waterproof and non-porous
- Stain-resistant and chemical-resistant
- Prevents cracking and shrinkage
- Excellent colour retention
- Stronger bonding for tile joints
- Minimal water absorption
Cement Grout: A Quick Overview
Cement grout is a powder-based mixture usually made from cement, fillers and pigments. It’s economical and widely used — but it is porous, absorbs stains easily, and cracks over time.
Limitations of Cement Grout
- Prone to cracking and chipping
- Absorbs moisture → causes fungal growth
- Requires sealing regularly
- Colour fades faster
- Not ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, pools & commercial spaces
Epoxy Tile Grout vs Cement Grout: Detailed Comparison
1. Strength & Durability
- Epoxy Grout: Extremely strong, non-shrinking, long-lasting
- Cement Grout: Weakens over time, prone to cracks
2. Stain Resistance
- Epoxy: 100% stain-proof
- Cement: Easily stained, needs sealing
3. Water Resistance
- Epoxy: Completely waterproof
- Cement: Highly porous → moisture absorption
4. Colour Stability
- Epoxy: No fading; available in premium shades including white epoxy grout, black epoxy grout, sparkle epoxy grout
- Cement: Fades due to cleaning chemicals & UV exposure
5. Application Areas
- Bathrooms & wet areas
- Kitchens
- Commercial floors
- Hospitals & laboratories
- Exterior tile installations
Why Epoxy Grout Is the Best Choice for Tiles in 2025
1. Increasing Demand for Luxury Tiles
As premium vitrified tiles, marble, and large-format slabs rise in popularity, only epoxy grout can match their performance and aesthetics.
2. Long-Term Cost Efficiency
Although epoxy grout costs more initially, it saves money by preventing:
- Regrouting
- Tile joint repair
- Colour maintenance
3. Better Hygiene & Easy Cleaning
Epoxy grout is non-porous, which stops:

This makes it ideal for bathrooms, hotels, restaurants, and kitchens.
