I compared a water based product and this one. This one appeared to be more effective. It's more expensive.

I've not used it to cover grout. My poor experiences listed in the review I submitted may or may not apply in your use case. I'd think of this is a coin toss situation. On the up side, due to that it's rough surface, it might actually stick to grout better than other surfaces. On the down side, you may not be able to properly clean the grout such that this stuff can stick. When I grouted my bathroom, I used a grout that was epoxy based. The clean up needed to be done immediately and was done by using water diluted white vinegar (acid). I'm not sure if this clean up method is advisable in your situation or not but it may be an option. No sealant was needed due to the epoxy and was inherently mold resistant. Alternately, if your concern is the mold on the grout, you might consider using a sealant since that's MUCH easier & quicker to do.

Not sure about caulking but grout definitely, has a strong smell just in case you have kids or pets.

According to the brand's website (http://miraclesealants.com/index.html) "511 Porous Plus" is recommended for sealing Grout but it's not recommended for sealing Ceramic Tile because Ceramic is not as porous as other materials. Their "511 Impregnator Sealer" is recommended for sealing both Grout and Ceramic Tile.

Patti,I would call Radonseal direct, but this is just a sealing agent it's not any different then any concrete sealer. The only problem is you wouldn't be able to do another coat so make sure your level is where you want it. Make sure you caulk any crack you see and where the wall meets the floor. Cover and seal any sump pump pit also. I went from a 9.9 down to a 2.6 doing all of these things.if you finish your basement and the level goes higher you may have to install a fan radon system with fan. Hope it helps.

No. It's a matte and mostly should be used to seal grout. Ceramic tile should not be sealed to a high gloss. If you don't care and just want it to be shiny, then try a floor finish. I do this for work.

I used a roller wand that I also ordered from Amazon to seal the grout on the floor and in the shower. The Aqua seal has worked great for both the floors and the shower. My shower is a walk in type and is floor to ceiling shower. I also think a foam brush would be best if you are going to use a brush.

Yes. Drill a hole just big enough for the wire. Then put a ton of 5200 on the back so that it fills in not only the hole but the parts of the back that don't mount flush. Then use a solvent to remove excess sealant around the unit and form a full seal like you would if you were grouting tile. Then put sealant on the inside and wire them in and you are good to go. Don't be shy with the sealant. You can always wipe the excess.

Not sure b/c my tiles are larger,but as long as you do not clamp it into any of the grout lines it should be ok. We have had on now for over a year. Hope this helps.

Yes. I used this grout to seal the seam between infinity pool weir (infinity edge). The weir is a concrete stem wall surfaced with 18"X48" granite tiles. Waterflow past these seams is quite high - after 8 months the grout looks good and performs well

No, I had to re-grout my shower 3 times I one year due to black mildew and deteriorating grout. And that was with very highly rated sealer. I will never have a tile shower again.

I would not recommend this product to clean grout from ceramic tile. This is specifically a carpet cleaner, and it could clean tile, but its not made for that. If I could suggest a product to help you with this, I would suggest the 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop (http://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-Powerfresh-Steam-White-1940/dp/B0091YYUAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390490519&sr=8-1&keywords=1940+bissell). This has a 'Easy Scrubber that flips down and reaches down to the grout and crevices' located on the back of the foot. It also has a $10 off coupon right now!! Its a great steam mop, and not only will it help you clean your ceramic tile, but it will also be great to have around the house!

Yes absolutely Home Strip Paint and Varnish Remover works great to remove wax and grout sealant from tile! Thank you for your interest in EcoSolve products and have a great day!

No, this product is for natural stone or other porous tile. Porcelain is already sealed and does not need additional sealing. The grout between the tiles WILL need to be sealed, though. For that use the straight 511 sealer, not the 511 seal and enhanc.e

I think it would work fine for a backsplash (no huge amount of water will sit very long vertically), however it's probably not as good as a dedicated sealer. If you're sealing new grout for the first time I'd go with an oil based product.

This is excellent on my vinyl floor! I am not familiar with a "vinyl composite tile", but the product works with ceramic tile also and will not harm grout.

white grout, no idea about the tile sealer as had our contractor handle it.
