How to apply grout sealer to wall tile.
Sealing your tile can help keep it protected from scratches and cracks and make it look more vibrant.
Applying a tile sealer is also really easy to do.
Choose a solvent based sealer for ceramic and porcelain tile or a water based sealer for natural stone tile.
Whether you are repairing or replacing tile and grout new or old sealing them is the last and usually most overlooked step.
If your tile is not glazed be extremely cautious when applying the sealant as it will absorb directly into the tile and will change the color and finish of the piece.
The best way to prevent this is to seal your new grout and repeat as needed every year or so for wall and floor tiles that don t get much moisture and more often for grout in the shower or on.
Then clean the tile before you seal it.
Apply your sealer to the lines and joints of the grout.
