When to put grout on polished marble tiles, before or after sealing?

Posted on August 1, 2009 by admin

Someone told me that i have to be very careful bc sometimes you have to seal before you put the grout and then seal again.
I went to home depot to ask and some employees told me to just put the grout and then seal others to seal – grout – seal. Im so confused
what should i do? I don’t want to mess up my beautiful tiles.

Thank you!

You don t need to seal marble before hand since its not considered a porest stone as where it s going to absorb and stain..Now its high recommended to seal all after 72 hrs( The minimum time with most sealers, check your product) And then seal again concentrating on the grout this time to seal grout twice.. Any questions you can e mail me thru my avatar and check my qualifications there GL

    It wouldn’t hurt to seal both before and after. Usually there is no need to seal before grouting unless you’re using a contrasting color which isn’t a great idea.
