sealant

Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints or openings in materials, a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulking and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission. Sealants may be weak or strong, flexible or rigid, permanent or temporary. Sealants are not adhesives but some have adhesive qualities and are called adhesive-sealants or structural sealants.

    Which Sealant?

    Finally got the beige porcelain tiles clean from black grout. Apparently I should have used a sealer/impregnator on them before grouting and to help clean them more easily in the future???? If so, what make would you recommend? Thanks
