    Shower Cubicle Grouting/Sealing Question

    When grouting a shower cubicle, I understand that the corner wall joints and shower tray joints should be sealed with Silicon. Should these joints be grouted first and then sealed with Silicon, or should they be left grout-free and the whole joint be made with Silicon?

    travertine hole filling and sealing?

    Hello, I've just cleaned my travertine-tiled kitchen floor up, and used Mapei ultra colour Jasmine grout to fill the holes, but I'm worried the grout will go grey/dirty and get discoloured? Will a sealant stop this? And if so, which is the best one to use?
