TEC Grout Products
TEC Specialty Products offers a comprehensive range of high-performance grouts designed for different applications. Each product has specific coverage rates and mixing requirements that affect material calculations.
How to Calculate Grout Coverage
- • Measure area: Length × Width in square feet
- • Factor tile size: Larger tiles need less grout
- • Consider joint width: Wider joints require more material
- • Account for depth: Thicker tiles need deeper grout lines

Frequently Asked Questions
How much TEC grout do I need per square foot?
TEC grout coverage depends on tile size and joint width. For 12"x12" tiles with 1/8" joints, you typically need 1 bag of TEC sanded grout per 50 square feet. Use our calculator above for precise measurements based on your specific project.
What's the difference between TEC sanded and unsanded grout?
TEC sanded grout contains sand particles and is used for joints 1/8" and wider, providing strength for larger gaps. TEC unsanded grout has a smooth consistency and is used for joints less than 1/8" wide, typically with polished stone or glass tiles.
How do I use the TEC power grout calculator?
Enter your room dimensions, select tile size, joint width, and grout type. Our TEC power grout calculator uses industry-standard formulas to determine exact material requirements. TEC Power Grout comes in 50lb bags with coverage of approximately 60 square feet.
Can I use this calculator for other grout brands?
While optimized for TEC products, the basic calculations work for most grout brands. However, coverage rates may vary between manufacturers. Always check the specific product data sheet for your chosen grout brand.
What factors affect TEC grout coverage?
Coverage is affected by tile size, joint width and depth, installation technique, and substrate porosity. Our calculator accounts for standard factors, but always order 10-15% extra material for waste and touch-ups.
