        "text": "Epoxy grout provides superior stain and water resistance compared to traditional cement-based grout, but it comes with distinct tradeoffs in cost and application. Cement grout is budget-friendly, easier to shape, and widely used, yet it remains porous and requires periodic sealing to resist mildew and discoloration. Epoxy grout is completely non-porous, highly resistant to harsh cleaning chemicals, and never needs sealing, making it ideal for shower floors and high-use stalls. However, epoxy sets quickly, demands specialized application skills to prevent haze on tile faces, and carries higher material and labor costs.",
