The mosaic tiles are very close together. Do I need to grout and seal?

As the individual pieces are very tightly assembled together, you really do not have to grout these tiles (depending on exactly which surface they'll be used, of course). And you might want to seal these materials with a water-based, non-chemical penetrating sealer. For more information, please reach Oracle Tile & Stone. Thank you.

I doubt it. The purpose is to seal the surface once every thing is dry. Then reseal every year to be safe. I don't think you want to mix anything with the grout as that would interfere with the purpose of the grout.

You should NEVER seal your grout. It makes it impossible to clean. I bought this at True Value and they even have a fact sheet handout you can get to read all the reasons why. Basically the dirt gets embedded inside the seal material.

i believe so. But if the tile has natural finish then it may affect the appearance.

yes you need to drill holes....try to go thrugh the grout line not the tile, its easier and also easier to repair if you ever need to change it

I used this to repair cracked and/or missing grout between wall tiles. The tiles were securely attached to the wall. If your tiles are loose, you will need to use an adhesive first to re-set and secure your loose floor tile.

ceramic and porcelain tile usually requires no sealing since they are not porous. seal the grout between the tiles.

It's grout. It will fill the area between tiles no matter what they are made of.

It doesn't matter. Caulking is waterproof by nature the problem is that grout is not waterproof. This helps seal the grout. If you used quality caulk you will be fine. Basically caulk doesnt need a sealer.

I put a glaze on mine and it did take longer to dry since the tile is made of foam but other than that it did fine.

yes you can,the grout should be cured for 3 days before applying the sealer,if the liquid sealer is applied over the tile it should be wiped off after aprox 5 minutes,will not hurt the tile.

I was kind of worried about that too. They are indeed grouted well and it's like a silicone type of grout that cleans easily and looks great!It looks like typical grout you see and use on tile but has a silicone feel that makes cleaning easy. Perfect for a kitchen table. I love my table and get lots of compliments on it. Sorry for the late response

Hi There, Actually, it is not possible to tell the grout lines from the picture, but grout would be necessary when installing these beautiful Walnut Travertine Roman Pattern tiles. So, the grout lines / edges of tiles would be protected against accumulation of dirt. We hope we answered your question.

I did a little research and I would have to say, don't do it yourself. Go to or call a tileing store (Tile America) and get some professional answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I took a left over piece and tried it for you. It seems to work and look okay. My tiles have a good amount of grout inbetween them and it still looked okay.

The tile pieces are so close together, that grout won't work. You will still need to use a thinset, or something of the like to attach it to the wall, and I would recommend a sealer because of the irregularity of the stone - grease will be trapped in all the nooks and crannies. I unfortunately did not seal mine (I used mine in a living room), so I am not sure which type of sealer is best. Good luck!

This would be creative coloring-Get the terra cotta pack, use the white, or use some epoxy (messy), fill your tile, then get some enamel paint and paint the top to matchAnd use a clear coat in either gloss or flat or semigloss to match. Yeah it's a pain, but it's about all you have besides replacing tile
