Grout color and the type of sealer will all depend on what kind of a look you are trying to achieve. However, usually, bright white (or arctic white) colored epoxy grout usually gives excellent results. And as far as the sealer, you can go with a high-end, water-based penetrating sealer (to prevent possible material discolorations and shade changes due to the chemical attributes of enhancing sealers that you might otherwise consider using on other types of stone such as travertine). For more information, please reach Oracle Tile & Stone @ 1-877-445-5599. Thank you.

My grout is white. I had tiles placed as close together as possible. Don't know about sealer.

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!

I don't know what color your brick is but I have used it on tile and removed it with no issues. If there is any residue I just use a little baby oil to get rid of it.

The S2000 is a densifier and has a primary purpose of increasing the surface strength and density of the concrete. The best sealer for stamped concrete would be the SX5000. It is NOT a coating however so it won't leave behind a surface film and it won't change the look or color of the concrete. If you want a clear coating that will enhance the natural coloring, consider the Armor AR350 or Armor AR500.

Hi Jamie,I didnt end up using this tile because it was over budget unfortunately. I havent looked at the sample for a while but I felt like the grout space wasnt to large or to small for the size of it...tho it wasnt super close together. The sample was really nice and I wish that we had enough to use it!

I haven't used this product on marble yet, but it is by far the best product for me as a mosaic artist because it doesn't change or fade the color of the grout. I'm going to mosaic my entire bathroom and use a great deal of small pieces of marble. I plan on using Miracle Sealant 551 for this project. Tom Montesonti

I removed the old caulk and applied a thin bead of transparent silicon caulk and smoothed it out to be mostly flush. I then applied this strip on top of that and then used the remaining transparent silicon caulk to seal the grout lines along the top. Based on reading the reviews I think sealing the strip after you apply it with transparent silicone caulk is a very necessary step. Just spend some time wiping up the excess and you won't notice the transparent caulk, but you will have piece of mind that the strip will be water tight.

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. If you may have any questions, please feel free to reach us at our toll-free 1-877-445-5599 and our representatives would be happy to assist you.

I have a friend who does not see well anymore and likes to plan Tile Rummy. I marked the tiles with nail polish in the circles below the numbers. I used bright blue for the red and clear for the green. She can see the clear because, not only can she feel it, but it is shiny. No problem seeing the bright blue. Don't know if this will help your husband, but it did the trick for my friend. Good luck!

Good question...so good that I don't have the answer. I will tell you this - there wasn't ONE word of exaggeration in my review..my grout was sparkling, like new white grout..there's the key word "white". My other bathroom has light tan grout. Zep got the stains up but did NOT BLEACH IT. since I'm only talking light tan, I would not use that as the green light to use it on your colored grout. I just looked at my bottle and there's a customer service line for questions like yours...I'm sure it's on their website too...Yeah, I know, you where hoping for "real world" results..well that can be you once you use Zepp then brag about your beautiful floors!

Hi John - I'm a total novice and I purchased a 4" Wet/Dry granite polishing Pad set to remove some chips we had on a travertine floors. The Pads worked great. Very pleased there are some videos on you tube that were helpful in showing how to use pads. As far as the densifier and sealer I'm not sure what products you are talking about. We don not have any marble only travertine. Sorry if this was not helpful...

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 match And 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

Hi Amazonfan111,As Paul alluded to we do have another product for Tile & Grout, however if the grout lines are very small and the majority of the surface is the mosaic glass tiles, we would generally recommend using the glass product. This will adhere better to the glass than to the grout, however if you reduce your expected coverage by about 35% you will have quite good results. I'm not sure that this will last to three years on the grout, but it will definitely be better than an untreated surface!If you have any other questions please do give us a call at our USA office and we would be happy to help!The EnduroShield Team Hi Amazonfan111,As Paul alluded to we do have another product for Tile & Grout, however if the grout lines are very small and the majority of the surface is the mosaic glass tiles, we would generally recommend using the glass product.

I researched this online and was advised to use mortar and non-sanded grout, and be sure to wash off the residue with a soft wet cloth and polish with a micro fiber cloth after grouting. There are products that will wash off residue, but I would test them on a sample to be sure it doesn't affect the shell sheen. I don't have the packaging, so I don't know if there are instructions included. The most recent purchase of these shells did not include instructions, so it may depend on the company. I installed mine over Schluter systems Ditra grid backing in order to increase the depth to line up the face of the tile with other ceramic tiles. The Schluter Ditra was secured with mortar to the cement board covered with Redguard, then the grid was mortared and the white pearl shell tiles laid on the wall, let dry, then grouted with the non-sanded grout, and finally washed. Later, I applied grout sealer and polished with a microfiber cloth. Hope this helps.
