There are several options for grout sealing in San Antonio. Clear sealant takes the existing grout and merely seals the grout and tile as is. Color sealing, however, seals your grout and changes the color. Both types of sealant provide stain protection, waterproofing, and stain resistance. However, what type of sealing you do depends on what you want to do with your floor. If you are satisfied with the color of your grout, then your best bet is to get clear grout sealing done. This will keep your grout color, and protect it. However, if you have pre-existing stains, blemishes, or you really want to remodel without paying an exorbitant price to rip out your floor and replace it, then you may wish to look at another option.

Grout Color Sealing: Protection and a Brand New Look

If you want to replace your floor, be prepared to pay. Depending on the type of flooring you have or want, you may end up spending thousands of dollars to get it all replaced. Another option to consider is to get grout color sealing done instead. Sealing grout eliminates stains or discoloration. Color sealer repels liquids of different types. If you spill red wine, coffee, or orange juice on an unsealed grout line, you are going to have a very obvious and ugly stain. With color sealant applied, however, you have protection against stains. In addition, a sealed floor is also a healthy floor. Grout is highly absorbent. After all it's made of sand. Any liquid that seeps into grout also exposes you to known health risks such as mildew, mold, or bacteria. So as you see, there are several reasons why you should consider getting grout color sealing done in your home or business.
