My local tile supplier in Cincinnati tried to sell me the epoxy grout and I told him I never heard of it and didn't want to try something I've never heard of. He also said it wasn't available in pure white. He said the white is an off white that has kind of a yellowish appearance. That also clinched it, since I was using a white tile and didn't want the grout to look like it was stained or dirty. At least he was honest with me. So, if you are looking at using white, you might want to inquire further.

We are also having Laticrete electric radiant heat mats installed underneath the tiles. The Laticrete technician who was at our house on Thursday with our contractor to look over the job suggested that we use epoxy grout. He said it would eliminate the need for sealing and that it is used for commercial projects because it's very stain resistant, and doesn't need sealing or resealing. He said in the past epoxy grout was difficult to apply and was very expensive but that the epoxy grout on the market nowadays (the Laticrete one anyway) is much easier to use and is cost effective.
