When installing tile floors, grouting is an essential step that should not be skipped. Grout serves not only to give floors a cohesive appearance but also plays a crucial structural role by reinforcing tiles, preventing them from shifting and reducing the risk of accidents. Skipping grout can lead to dirt accumulation, moisture problems, and potential mold growth, which can cause health issues.
