Seal your stone surfaces permanently and safeguard your investment.
Why should you seal you tile? Your tile is an investment to your home that can increase the value and create an inviting environment for years to come. The areas that are typically tiled in a home encounter frequent exposure to soil, dirt, contaminants, foot traffic, moisture and food particles or liquids. Tile is generally a porous material and if it is not properly protected with a quality sealant, the beauty of your tile and the financial investment of it can be affected with long term, frustrating results.
If your grout is not properly maintained and sealed, you can develop stains, discolorations and sometimes even mold that grows in the grout. Everyday cleaners often do not have the ability to clean these properly. By simply having your tiles professionally cleaned and sealed, you’ll save yourself from headaches and frustration that can come when trying to maintain your tile with regular cleaning.

Here’s what others have experienced when they did not seal the tile:
“We have a lot of ceramic tiled floor that we did not have sealed and now I regret it. The grout has stained in places, mostly the kitchen, and it looks a little odd near the places where it hasn't stained."
“Grout is a pain to clean. Seal it...Make your life easier! Also when you’re ready to have someone to clean it professionally, the cost will be much less if it was sealed than unsealed.” |

When is the best time to seal your tile?
Typically, if your tile has not been sealed in the last 12 months, you’re ready for a professional sealant. One misconception people have about newly installed tile is that ‘it was already done’. Newly installed tile isn’t sealed since the grout needs to cure for at least 28 days before a sealant can be applied. If you’ve bought a new home and have not sealed your tile- the time to seal it is now! The longer you expose the porous surface of your tile and grout, the more irreparable damage you’re doing to it. |

Why Use Granite Shield?
Why use Granite Shield on your stone countertop and surfaces? The standard sealers in the industry today are penetrating sealers. This means they are absorbed down into the porous stone and away from the surface. Oils and stains can still damage |
