The tile setters are making further progress with the upstairs home getting the master in floor heat cable laid, and grout on many of the floor tile areas. Choice of grout is a matter of preference, but I prefer on the darker side of tile matched grout (and definitely not white grout - too easy to get dirty).
In my view the tile is a key part of the house interior decor, and can also be a highly expensive installation. For this project we are using nice tile, but not the brand name made in Italy product. We have a lot of tile to install, front and rear mud rooms, big bathroom and laundry, so we are not skimping on the tile volume, or quality underlay (ditra, instead of plywood).

Tiling to the ceiling is nice touch in the shower-tub combo installation. It is considered an 'upgrade', but everything in construction that is nice is considered to be an upgrade.
