floor tiles & grout/cement

[John Kelly]

How much grout/cement would I need for tiles covering an area of approx

17 square metres?

Any particular brand/type recomended? It's for a dining room area.

Thanks

It depends on the tile size and the spacing . Probably more than the packet text suggests.

[John Kelly]

True. Another question. What do people here use - the ready mixed stuff or the powder?

For me, powder. I've never tried the ready mixed stuff, so I can't compare.
