hi, i,m new at this so please bear with me. i have just tiled the floor in my kitchen onto a floor i sheeted with chipboard.there must have been a little movement on it so the (white) grout i put down has cracked but the tiles seem fine.does anybody know where i could buy some flexible grout?The wife insists it has to be white.this was my second go at this as the adhesive i used the first time from wi**es wouldnt stick although it was meant to be used on wooden floors.this might sound stupid but i used tubes of f*rget nails glue and the tiles seem solid and no mess.
flexible grout & adhesive.

Mapei Keracolour FF White + Fugolastic mix is what I used. Very white and probably as flexible as you'll get.

are many other equally good makes...
I was introduced to Seal Guard by a professional tiler as a grout sealer. Not sure where you get it, I bought a can off him.
Grout is cement i dont think you get flexible cement yet
sounds like you didnt apply pva to the surface to be tiled resulting in the flooring absorbing the water in the grout before it set. i think you should have sheeted the floor with plyboard rather than chipboard too.
Silicone or an MS polymer?

Rubbish. Use google, there are loads of flexible grouts. Not flexible like silicone, but flexible enough for the OP's application.
This is exactly where i think i went wrong,so i will know the next time cheers.
to be honest whatever looks nice and white and is slightly flexible.there is very little movement but enough to crack previous grout.
yes just a little bit of flexibility,so grout does not crumble.cheers
