Best Grout for Showers: Why LATICRETE SpectraLOCK Pro Premium Epoxy Grout Stands Above the Rest

When it comes to building or remodeling a shower, grout isn’t just filler between tiles — it’s the first line of defense against water, stains, and mold. The wrong choice can lead to cracking, discoloration, and expensive repairs. The right choice keeps your shower beautiful and watertight for years.

So what’s the best grout for shower walls and floors? The answer is clear: LATICRETE SpectraLOCK® Pro Premium Epoxy Grout.

Why Regular (Cement) Grout Fails in Showers

  • Porous by nature – it absorbs water, stains, and soap scum.
  • Requires sealing – and resealing, which most people don’t do.
  • Color shifts & hairline cracks – especially under constant moisture and heat.

Why Epoxy Grout Is Different

  • Non-porous – resists water absorption and stains.
  • No sealer needed – one less maintenance headache.
  • High strength & low shrinkage – no cracks and callbacks.
  • Color-true – what you install is what you keep.

Why SpectraLOCK® Pro Premium Is the Pick

  • Installer-friendly working time and smooth spread.
  • Consistent color across walls and floors.
  • Proven in commercial and residential showers.

How to Use It in Your Shower

  1. Mix the three components: Part A (Resin), Part B (Hardener), and Part C (Color Powder)per instructions included.
  2. Spread with an epoxy grout float, forcing grout firmly into joints.
  3. Clean on schedule using the included wash packets/sponges to remove haze.
  4. Let it cure fully before use. Enjoy a low-maintenance, mold-resistant shower.

Tools You Actually Need

  • Epoxy grout float & margin trowel
  • Two clean buckets, sponges, microfiber towels
  • Timer (don’t wing the wash times)
  • Gloves; good ventilation

Real-World Notes (No Sugar-Coating)

  • Working time is finite. Mix manageable batches. If you overmix, you’ll rush and leave haze.
  • Temperature matters. Hot rooms shorten open time; cool the space or your mix.
  • Textured/pebble floors: It’s fine to use, but plan extra time for thorough cleaning of the surface.
