How Long Does Tile Sealing Last?

Tile sealing provides outstanding protection against dirt, staining, spills and erosion. If your tiles need to be sealed, you may be wondering how long the sealer will last before it needs to be replaced. We've put together this helpful information to ensure you're in the know.

Lifespan Of Tile Sealer

The length of time your tile sealer will last will depend on the type of sealer you choose. A topical sealer can usually be expected to last around 3 years, while impregnating sealers have a lifespan of up to 15 years.

These particular sealers could even last a lifetime on a vertical surface, but if you use them on areas of high traffic and heavy use, such as showers, you should check the tiles more frequently and re-seal them if there's any sign of wear.

The Importance Of Sealing Tiles

Many people seal their grout and stop there, but it's just as important to seal porous tiles. Sealing isn't needed for ceramic or porcelain tiles, except when they have not been glazed.

In contrast, a porous stone tile is more likely to show up scratches or staining, so it will benefit from a quality seal to extend its life. Sealing ensures dirt, debris, water and other liquids aren't absorbed by your tiles, prevents damage during the application of grout, and allows stains to be easily removed.
