What Grout Does and Why You May Need Re-Grouting

A lot of people just think that grout is the stuff between the tiles, and nothing more.  However, grout isn't just between your tiles, it is also underneath them as well.  And grout serves a protective purpose as well as a decorative one.  If grout is applied evenly, it helps to fill any pores or holes in the tile.  Grout helps to protect the tiles and strengthen them.  As you step on your tile, particularly ceramic tile such as porcelain, terra cotta, etc., you're putting pressure on the tile.  If you have grout that has gaps, or is even missing, the tile will be able to stand the stress and strain on it for just a little while until finally you will hear the last sound you want to hear: the sound of tile cracking.  It is hard to often repair tile well.  There will always be a raised crack.  However, if you choose to repair your grout, that is much easier.  While you may be able to do this yourself, you might be better off calling a grout service instead.

Why should you call a grout service for re-grouting?  Well, professional services have both the knowledge level you're going to need as well as the experience.  They are also going to have a lot of compounds and solutions that you just won't have access to, not to mention all of the equipment.  You also want to get a professional because they can color match your grout or if necessary color seal it so that your grout matches exactly.   What happens after re-grouting is also an important step

Grout Sealing:  Protect Your Tile AND Your Grout

Grout sealing is a very good idea.  It not only protects your ceramic tile, it protects the grout.  Why this matters is simple.  Grout is extremely porous, very easily stained, and in some cases, some stains can also eat away at the grout.   With sealant applied however, you can protect both the tile and the grout itself, in a nice stainproof, easy to clean shell that lasts for years or even decades.  

So remember, replacing tile can get expensive.  Why not go for an alternative that will keep your tile and improve it?  Get re-grouting done today.
