We all love Houston—where the summers are sweaty, the food is spicy, and your tile floors are constantly under siege from muddy shoes, surprise spills, and that ever-present Gulf Coast moisture. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Should I seal my tiles or not?” you’re in the right place. At Grout Medic of Houston, we believe knowledge is power—and we’re here to help you protect your tile like a pro.
Houston's steamy weather isn’t just rough on your hair—it’s tough on your tile too. Without sealant, your beautiful floors can:
Sealing your tile helps keep things clean, sleek, and low-stress—because who has time to scrub grout when there’s crawfish to eat?
Some tiles come out of the box ready to roll—no sealing necessary.
With a smooth, shiny surface, glazed ceramic is basically wearing a raincoat at all times. Easy to clean and moisture-resistant, it’s a great option for Houston homes.
This one’s tough as nails and highly water-resistant. Most varieties are pre-glazed at the factory, meaning you can skip the sealant. Just keep it clean and show it off.
Grout Medic Tip: Even if your tile doesn’t need sealing, your grout almost always does.
Houston’s humidity is no joke, and some tiles need extra help to stay fabulous.
These tiles are the high-maintenance divas of flooring. Porous and prone to staining, they absolutely need sealing—especially in a place like Houston where mold and mildew thrive.
These warm, rustic tiles are charming but thirsty. Unsealed, they’ll absorb every splash of sweet tea and every speck of dirt. Seal them to keep them looking fresh (and not like a history project).
Some tiles come au naturel—and that means porous. If there’s no glaze, you’ll want to seal the surface to prevent staining and wear.
We’ll say it louder for the people in the back: GROUT NEEDS SEALANT!
Unless you installed epoxy grout (and let’s face it, you probably didn’t), grout is basically the sponge of your floor. If left unsealed, it will soak up everything—and we mean everything.
Regular sealing keeps it clean, bright, and protected from the horror that is mildew.
Can’t remember if your tile was sealed? No clue what kind of tile you even have? That’s what we’re here for. At Grout Medic of Houston, we’re specialists in:
So whether you’ve got a chic modern kitchen or a classic stone floor that’s seen better days, we’re ready to help your tile shine and stay strong against the Houston heat.
