The Grout Secret

Many people don't realise this, but the secret to great looking
     tiles is GREAT LOOKING GROUT!

Grouts are porous and, as a result, they easily absorb grease, dirt, grime and lime scale.  Spillages such as wine, lemonades or greasy substances will cause stains, marks and patches in the grout joints in the floor. 

     

Grout between wall-tiles, particularly in damp areas like bathrooms, will become dirty and unattractive as a result of Mould, Mildew and Limescale.

 

Mould is one of the most unsightly problems, it usually starts off in the wettest area of the room, this could be the bottom of the shower or bath, then starts to spread and if left unchecked could cover a large area of the wall.

Discolouration of grout joints in bath or shower areas is due to continued use of acid formulated shampoos and soaps. This causes yellow orange and pink stains to the grout over even a short period of time.

The answer is obvious....protect the grout using a sealer. Sealing forms an invisible barrier between the grout and the surface, which will then protect your investment for years to come.

This can be either a "Grout Colour Seal" or a "Clear Invisible Penetrating Sealer". Call Groutworx and they'll explain the difference.
