Grout Sealer/Protector for Mapei Grout - Ultra Colour

[flash74]

Hi All,

I have recently used Mapei Ultra Colour 113 grout and i am now looking to protect it. Can anyone recommend a sealer/protector for this grout or offer any advice.

I came across a Tech Bulletin (link below) that states a Silicon sealer should only be used, has anyone used a Silicon sealer for grout, if so could you give any advice/info about using it or any recommendations.

"Use a Silicon sealer on MAPEI’s Ultracolor® grout. Due to its low porosity and hardness, a regular sealer will not penetrate it."

Many thanks in advance.

LTP Mattstone seals it well. 3 years on and it's still waterproof.
