Grout Floats
Grout floats are typically grouped by rubber hardness or elasticity level. Avoid using a single grout float for all your projects, as the hardness determines how likely it is to scratch your working surface. Choose your float's hardness according to your project:
- Soft: Best suited for glass, marble, and other surfaces prone to scratching
- Medium: Suitable for most ceramic tiles and all but the most delicate surfaces
- Hard: Ideal for rough stone, hard tiling, and surfaces that are resistant to scratches.
If installing coarse or sanded grout, consider using a harder grout float, as softer models may be damaged. If you work with epoxy grout, make sure to purchase an epoxy-resistant rubber grout float. Typically, they possess beveled edges made to resist sticking.
