If you have many natural stones, glass tile, or a tile with a great deal of shine, you will need a non sanded grout. Many bathrooms need this regardless, because their grout joint is 1/8" or less.

if your grout line is less than 1/4" you use smooth grout, above that you use sanded grout.
You can use two different types of grout for bathroom showers. If your tile requires a thin line of grout then it would be best to use a non-sanding type and for tile that requires a wider line of grout its best to use a sanding type.

"Grout is the stuff you apply between tiles to seal them in place. Grout tiles once the adhesive has dried fully (24 to 36 hours later).

Spread the grout across the tiles at right angles to the joins. Use a damp sponge to remove excess. Once the grout is dry, polish the surface with a dry cotton rag."
