Sealing your tile grout
provides a layer of protection against spills,
stains and water penetration into your grout
joints. Using a clear liquid quality grout
sealer should be last step in your grout
removal / grout repair project. For little cost
and effort it is well worth saving the beauty
and integrity of your grout job.
New grout requires a curing time
of 72 hours before applying a sealer to ensure
proper bonding. After sealing, foot traffic can
resume after about 4 hours and the sealer will
fully cure in approximately 24 to 48 hours.
The photos to the left show before
and after shots of unsealed and sealed grout.
There is a very subtle difference between these
two photos. The sealed tile grout (in the photo)
has become slightly darker. It is not uncommon
for some grouts to become a shade or two darker
when sealed. |
