I need larger bags of grout

[Richi]

Can anybody help me find Polyblend grout in bags larger than my head? Im trying to save money here. Web shopping in bulk is kind of cool... lots of products available if youve got room to store a years supply of anything. But grout? I need antique white, bone, and linen. Ideas anyone?

Hi Richi, Welcome aboard. :)

I checked your "album." One picture and you don't even tell us which one is you. Head sizes looked about the same. ;)


Just on the off chance you might be serious, you can buy direct from Custom. I think you know that, though.

Richi,
Remember, these products have a shelf life. Some are less than 1 YR

JJC due to the nature of my work our grout lines can be anywhere from ¼" to 1" wide. This occasionally tranlsates into a lot of material and im not worried about shelf life. But thanks for the info, i wasnt aware that sand and color could decompose. :eek: Must be the addatives.

John Bridge: sorry about the website, you have to have russian fonts to navigage it. There are actually around 150 photographs contained there. Im the young guy in the middle of the photo you saw.
By the way, you might be interesed in the "European Design" link on the upper left corner of the page. Just a couple samples of our work.
You will no doubt notice that theres no pictures of any tile. Well lets just say that im.. uh.. well, kind of uh.. not a tile setter. But before you write nacty :complain: letters to moderators about removing 'those other guys' I must confess that my job scope is very narrow and almost all of the decent advice or information I have learned i leeched off of true tile setters. Thanks alot!!! :D

Richi,

We don't care if you're a tile setter or not. We've got a lot of stone people hanging around here and other trades as well. :)

That's some good looking work, buddy. ;) You need to make a real web site to get your stuff onto. Doesn't cost much to start out. Great advertising.

I'm wondering whether you might want to start making your own grout. You don't need the additives for the type of work you're doing. You could buy up a load of silica, some white portland and a little masonry color.

Or as I said, if you're able to order enough you can deal direclty with the grout bagging plant.

I used to swim in Green Lake (Seattle) when I was a kid. ;)
