Two types of sealers are commonly used. And which type of sealing will be better for your place depends on the place. Such as:
Penetrating Sealer: It soaks into the grout surface and fills in all the pores without changing the color or texture of it. However, this sealer comes in many colors that would enhance the overall look of your floor. It's a great option for the bathroom floor or shower area.
Non-Penetrating Sealer: It's also known as membrane sealer. It adds a coating to the surface while giving an aesthetic shine and a new color. This sealer is best for a place that has less contact with water like the kitchen floor.
Unseal grout is like a sponge. It absorbs all the moisture, dirt, and harmful substances. It might lead to:
Mold growth: Mold grows in a damp environment. And porous unsealed grout is the perfect place for that. This can cause allergen issues, skin and eyes irritation, worsening respiratory diseases, and more.
Bacteria: Bacteria like E. coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus can find a home in unsealed grout. These bacteria can be the cause of various illnesses including stomach and skin infections.
Thus, it’s important to get your grout effectively sealed through a professional and ensure a healthy environment.
Sealing the grout doesn't make it waterproof. The grout or tile is not made to be waterproof. Although, it protects most of the water from getting inside the cement. However, The waterproofing process is actually behind the tile.
So, if you want to fix your leaking shower grout then sealing is not going to help you. To do this you might have to remove the whole tile first and then reinstall it properly.
Grout sealing is a versatile solution for many areas. Such as,
After sealing the place wait for the area to dry out. Most of the sealers dry within 5 hours. However, some sealers take up to 2 days. Thus, it is recommended to wait for 48 hours before any foot traffic in the area. It's better to talk to a professional to know the exact time.
