What is Grout Color Sealing?

What is grout color sealing? First off, though, what is grout? According to WIKIPEDIA.ORG: "Grout is a construction material used to embed rebars in masonry walls, connect sections of pre-cast concrete, fill voids, and seal joints (like those between tiles). Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, sand, often color tint, and sometimes fine gravel (if it is being used to fill the cores of concrete blocks). It is applied as a thick emulsion and hardens over time, much like its close relative mortar.[1] Unlike other structural pastes such as plaster or joint compound, grout, when mixed and applied correctly, creates a waterproof seal. Main varieties include: tiling grout (either urethane, cement-based or epoxy), flooring grout, resin grout, non-shrink grout, structural grout and thixotropic grout. Tiling grout is often used to fill the spaces between tiles or mosaics, and to secure tile to its base. Although ungrouted mosaics do exist, most have grout between the tesserae. Tiling grout is also cement-based, and comes in sanded as well as unsanded varieties. The sanded variety contains finely ground silica sand; unsanded is finer and produces a non-gritty final surface. They are often enhanced with polymers and/ or latex. [READ MORE]
Since grout is so porous, you want to either get grout color sealing done on it, or get it clear coated, particularly if you have ceramic tile.  Sealing your tile and your grout will help to protect it from stains and spills.  If you get impregnating sealer put down, it will fill all of the pores up with a resin that hardens almost instantly, which means it will repel liquids. If you opt for color sealing, it will give your floor a new look without the new floor price.  This really can make a difference.
