How to Seal Grout - Caponi - pFOkUS

1. How to Seal Grout? 1.An unsealed grout easily wears off or cracks, giving a very un-maintained appearance to the travertine/marble flooring. The place from where the grout cracks tends to store water. Stagnant water leads to mold breeding. Porous grout also leads to mold and mildew formation as it continuously absorbs water and moisture, which are excellent for mold breeding. 2.If the grout wears off, the tile may come off loose in the absence of a good joint between them. This can hurt anyone walking barefoot on the travertine/marble flooring. 3.To prevent your grout from getting deteriorated, you should seal it with an epoxy resin sealer. 4.After the grout has been cleaned and prepped with a deep-penetrating grout cleaner, it should be repaired for possible cracks and crevices using an epoxy resin adhesive like Sentura. This epoxy resin adhesive performs a seamless grout repair job and ensures that it will never pop off from the surface. 5.Lastly, you can apply an epoxy grout sealer such as Caponi to seal the grout. 6.Caponi is a very efficient colored grout sealer, which is available in 40 different colors. These colors are mostly earthy and neutral tones found in tiles. Caponi has a durable titanium base which does its work in just a single coat. It is a pigmented grout sealing system that is built on a rock-solid 2-part solvent titanium resin/epoxy foundation.

2. 7.Caponi can cover all grout in just one coat. It is suitable for sealing both sanded and unsanded grout. 8.Apply the sealant in a smooth and even coat over the grout lines. 9.After applying Caponi on the grout lines, you can wipe off the excess build-up using an alcohol-based paint thinner such as Alco. 10.Caponi can also be shaded with Sentura to get the desired grout shade to match the rest of the tile color.
