Grout that has been stained,
discolored or just plain ugly after years of
wear can have new life. Even if you just want
to change the color of your grout, you can
give your tile a “new look” with
our hot selling (Grout
Colorant Kits).
Available in all the major grout
colors, the kits are easy to use and apply
and will last up to 15 years because of the
durable epoxy formula. Color Fast Grout Colorant
also seals and protects grout from moisture,
staining, and can be used on countertops, walls
and floors.
Make sure the floor is properly
prepared first by cleaning and removing any
loose particles, oily residues, or soaps. Once
you have cleaned the grout joints, give a final
wipe with a sponge and clean water. Allow the
grout to dry completely and your ready to apply
the colorant. To find if there is an existing
sealer on the grout, simply put some drops
of water on the grout joint and observe weather
it “beads up”. If so, previously
applied sealers must be removed using a stripper,
but this is rarely the case as grout that is
stained and discolored usually does not have
a sealer on it or it has worn off.
Remember that any porous tile
or stone must be sealed first before applying
the colorant to ensure that that the colorant
does not penetrate the tile. You don’t
have to worry about glazed tile absorbing the
colorant, just make sure to color the grout
completely to the edges of the tile as this
will help with sealing out moisture. |
