Why tile sealing is essential

We have discussed in a previous blog post about the growing demand and popularity of using tiles across the Sunshine Coast. It seems that more and more people are opting to use tiles to line the surfaces of their homes. This includes, but is not limited to walls, floors, countertops, etc. It can be said that the tiles protect and adorn the surfaces, but who protects the tiles? Most often, the answer to that question would be “a tile sealing agent”. This blog will outline the advantages of getting your tiles sealed.

Longevity

Sealed tiles last way longer than non-sealed tiles. What tile sealing essentially does is put a protective layer over your tiles, thus keeping it safe from scratches, dirt, grime and other nasty things that usually plague tiles. Whether the tiles are on your floor or on your wall, tile sealing makes sure that they will last for a long time.

Safety

Sealing tiles that are likely to be in wet areas is a good idea because tile sealing often makes it less likely to slip on tiles. It is essential you seal the tiles in your shower floor and kitchen. Or you could use porcelain or ceramic tiles, which usually do not need to be sealed.

Ease of maintenance

This one explains itself, really. If you invest time and money in tile sealing, your tiles will become easier to maintain. This is because sealed tiles won’t get dirty as often as non-sealed tiles and they will hardly ever get any scratches at all.
