sealing grout

[grahamster]

Hi all

After laying floor tiles and grouting them,do you reccomend to the customer that they seal grout,or do you go back the next day and do it as part of the service,even though the distance maybe a 70 or 80 mile round trip.

Cheers Graham

if its a light color grout and if they want to pay for you to go back a good earner i use lithothin grout sealer a small bottle will do miles just use a 25mm paint brush wrap tape around the bristle's about 15- 20mm form the end so it doesn't seal the rest of the tiles will last longer to ete
