Once the tile was finished and the thin set mortar dried, it was time to do the grout. The tiles adhered very well to the wall, so that was a relief. We opted to use non-sanded grout with a special additive which made the grout stain resistant and not need sealing. The additive was added to the grout instead of water. The guy at the tile store recommended the tile additive to us, and it seemed like a good idea for use that for a shower where stains and mildew would be an issue. We had all kinds of shower grout problems in the past where the grout cracked and got water behind it, so we wanted as much of a maintenance free shower as possible.
We grouted the entire shower, and it looked really nice. We now need to wait until the grout dries completely to see how it came out and to do the caulk at the corner and bottom.
