The glitter used in both types is not the same as what you’d see in an art supply store. Both varieties use glitter that is specifically manufactured so that its heat and water-resistant, won’t bleed or rust, and is non-toxic for pets and children. So you don’t want to try and make your own glitter grout from regular glitter. Colors That Span The Spectrum After sanding, take a dust cloth and wipe away any debris, dust or ash that’s made its way onto the surround. Use a clean cloth and sugar soap solution, or another mild detergent, to clean the surface afterwards. It’s important to make sure the area is completely smooth so that you get a clean finish once applying the paint. 2.) USE MASKING TAPE More Lines Equal More Glitter: By simply choosing a smaller tile size it will mean you have more grout lines which in turn equals more sparkle.

Painting a fireplace isn’t as hard as it sounds: you only need to focus on the surrounds to make a subtle improvement or striking statement.

Protect your walls by putting masking tape around the edges of your fireplace. You might also want to put down a dust sheet so that you don’t get any paint on your floor. 3.) APPLY PAINT PRIMERNow that you know the basics, it’s time to learn some of the smartest and easiest ways to use glitter grout to get the results you want. A Glimmering Overload: If you would like as much sparkle as possible you can double down by using tiles that have a glittery or shimmering effect themselves. Some glass tiles are actually made with glitter inside the body of the tile. Mother of pearl tiles are another reflective way to go and are famous for their natural iridescence. Show Off Your Shapes: If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with tile shapes other than something square, glitter grout will give you the perfect way to put them on display. Hexagonal, round, rectangular, and more exotic choices like arabesque tile all will shine when surrounded by glitter. And of course, don’t overlook using glitter grout for tiles on the floor either. When using it you aren’t limited to a specific style, regardless of whether you are working with a space or trying to create a space that is more vintage, modern, contemporary, or even something rustic. You’re Not Limited With Materials: Glitter grout happens to work very well not just with porcelain and ceramic but different types of natural stone, pebble tiles, metal, and especially glass. The translucence of glass makes it an excellent pairing that is widely used with glitter.

There are lots of reasons for applying a primer before moving on to your main coat of paint. Paint primer does a good job of evening out a wooden surface by filling in the grain, and if you choose a shade that matches your top coat it can really make the final results shine. Wood also tends to soak up paint, so it’s best not to go straight in with your main product. Pink, red, blue, and green glitter grout too, are all popular choices. There are even metallic colors such as silver, bronze, and gold glitter grout which can really make an impression. Some companies also offer certain colors in holographic glitter that will sparkle with a rainbow-like effect in the light. Where Can You Use It?

If you’re painting the actual fireplace rather than just the surround, such as a chimney or stove, you will need a heat-resistant product.

In this blog, we’ll take you through how to paint a wooden fireplace surround. Wooden fireplaces and mantelpieces are the most common in homes and giving them a new look is simple with the right paint and tools. WHAT KIND OF PAINT CAN YOU USE? When it comes to painting a fireplace surround or mantelpiece, we recommend using an eggshell paint. Graham & Brown’s eggshell paints are suitable for interior wooden surfaces and are highly durable and scratch-resistant. The slight gloss of an eggshell paint also makes scuffs and marks harder to spot, which is good for an area where you might be making frequent rearrangements.
