Is there any grout you can use in high moisture areas?? Especially saltwater....moisture? I have watched a number of builds, yours looks great by the way, and either concrete with a sealer and drain, or I suppose a good quality lino seem to be the more frequent choice. I am very much a flooring dummy when it comes to what should or should not be done so I am wondering why you chose tile versus ______? Or is there a sealer you could put over tile to make it waterproof or at the very least, very water resistant?

you can put sealers over the grout to stop the water. I find that ceramic tiles in a room can be slippery. they say that you can use the non stick floors with the sand grout in there. its suppose to work realyl well on salt water spills.

Stircrazy I gave you the wrong stuff once i get home i will get you the name , But i know it can be used around water just not as a floor like a shower

yup, epoxy grout. but you better be darn sure you like the color

totaly water proof, but you have to do it quickly and clean up excess quick as once it sets up it is a pain. this is what I used for my bar top as it won't stain, adsorbe water, ect.. by far the best solution for showers, counter tops ect.. but it does take a bit more faness to work with.. I layed out a 2X3 foot board with left over / off cut tiles which I mortered down and then practiced on that so I could get an idea of the working time and such.
