pulp and jute as alternative tile grout. The characteristics of the produced tile grout shall also be
determined and compared. Characteristics that shall be determined include the products’ color,
density, texture, durability and porosity. Commercial tile will be used as the controlled set-up while
the set-ups with bamboo ashes, bignay sap and jute as alternative tile grout shall be the
experimental group.
