Tile adhesive/ grout problems.

guys listen there is so much different stuff appearing on the market now dont decide it doesnt need sealing just cos its ceramic. do a test first theres loads of stuff cropping up now like trav lookalike and slate and a lot of it needs sealing think about porcs as well cos tons of them needs sealing as well

It's a suprise to me that any glazed product would need to be sealed. Glazed products should be impervious to moisture. I will speak to a few manufacturers when I'm back in work to see what they say.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I will test the tiles after a good clean up. I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks once again.

your right but to get it to looklike stuff the makers have to alter it sometimes. just like hardly anybody believed porcs needed to be sealed depending on the porc

hi sheila do your tiles have a gloss finish or matt if mat does water obsorb into tile as water wipes of no mark or water leaves a dark patch :8:
 
some tiles need a grought relase prior to groughting.I would use meratic acid to remove the hazeing did it last year when my apperentance groughted 1800sq ft didn't final wash 20 days later grought was permabond in the pours of the tile. when I was finished you would have never known.:hurray:
