Should You Seal Your Tiles Before Grouting?

Sealing tiles prior to grouting can significantly enhance the overall durability and appearance of the tiled surface. By applying a sealant, you are creating a protective barrier that prevents moisture and grout from penetrating the porous surfaces of the tiles.

This is particularly important for natural stone tiles, which can be highly absorbent and susceptible to staining. It can also ensure that the grout adheres properly, as it minimizes the risk of the grout being absorbed unevenly, which can lead to discoloration and weaken the bond over time.

By using Pro Clean Easy Clean Tile Protector before grouting, you can facilitate a smoother and more efficient installation process. When tiles are sealed, the grout can be applied more easily, as it will not be absorbed into the tile surface, allowing for a more uniform application. This not only saves time during the installation but also contributes to a more aesthetically pleasing finish.
