This document discusses the classification and types of grout used for tiling. It explains that grout is classified based on its composition, with C representing cementitious grout and R representing resin grout. Within these classifications are improvement characteristics added, such as reduced water absorption or increased abrasion resistance. Common grout types include normal cementitious grout, improved cementitious grout with reduced water absorption, and resin grouts.
