Ugly Dirty Grout Got You Down?
MARBLELIFE® ColorSeal has you covered.
Do you have stained grout? Is your tile and grout looking dull and discolored? We understand and have engineered a solution to solve the problem. MARBLELIFE ColorSEAL is engineered to address the root cause – failure of the grout seal. Furthermore, MARBLELIFE ColorSeal is engineered to be acid-resistant to prevent a re-occurrence.
Our technology is so flexible that MARBLELIFE can restore your grout to its original appearance OR a new color of your choice. Want your grout lines to match your towels? We can do that – and in so doing, create eye-popping colorful accents!
PREPARATIONS:
This treatment goes well beyond cleaning and restoration and begins by removing the remnants of any previously applied sealer. Once the surface has been prepared, we apply ColorSEAL to the surface.
ENSURING COMPLETE COVERAGE AND SEALING:
Unlike traditional sealing methods, MARBLELIFE®’s approach allows the craftsman to visually determine which areas are more porous than others, ensuring a consistent and uniform seal. After the seal has been applied, dirt and bacteria will no longer be absorbed into the grout but will remain at the surface where it can be easily cleaned, disinfected, and maintained.
CAUSES OF GROUT DISCOLORATION AND WEAR
Most grout starts to develop a stained or spotty appearance within 6-months of installation. The dirty appearance is due to the unsealed grout’s absorption of dirt, grime, and other debris.
AT HOME REMEDYS OFTEN MAKE THINGS WORSE AS THEY FAIL TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE:
Attempting to scrub away the discoloration may worsen the appearance of your grout, as will the use of inappropriate cleaners, which can leach grout dyes and gradually fade your color.
MARBLELIFE pioneered its ColorSEAL technology in 2004. We have treated thousands of properties. The technology is so effective it is still protecting homes done more than 15 years ago. When the root cause is understood and addressed, the problem is resolved.
DID YOU KNOW?
More than 20% of the restoration work we do is the result of the use of an inappropriate cleaner or chemical.
OTHER EFFECTS OF DIRTY GROUT
The number one complaint by office tenants in high-rise buildings is the appearance of the lobby and bathroom floors, particularly the grout. Architects are fond of saying that when it comes to floors “Grout is 5% of the floor but 95% of the complaints.” This same problem arises in hotels and hospitals.
Our ColorSEAL technology, in combination with our TILELOK treatments, prevent grout from absorbing dirt and bacteria, and imparts anti-mold, anti-slip and anti-graffiti properties in addition to a new gloss finish.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A COLORSEAL TREATMENT?
Sanded & Unsanded Grout Surfaces:
- A MARBLELIFE® representative will work with you to select the grout color you want, whether it’s your original color, or a new one of your choosing.
- Your custom-colored seal is then manufactured and sent to your MARBLELIFE® representative for application. We offer a standard color as well as 270 other options, making décor coordination a breeze. If you select a grout or caulk color, we can match it.
- Your surface is then cleaned to remove surface dirt and oils that can interfere with the ColorSEAL treatment.
- Remnants of the original seal (if any) are removed to allow the grout to properly bind with the new treatment.
- Your custom ColorSEAL is applied.
Your floor is walk-ready within 10-minutes following application, reaching full durability and strength after approximately 7 days, but can be cleaned within 24 hours.
Ongoing maintenance is significantly simplified as dirt and grime are unable to penetrate the grout and is forced to remain on the surface, where it can be removed with a cloth and some MARBLELIFE® TILE AND GROUT CLEANER. Our special cleaners have been formulated to leave behind no harmful waxes or acids. MARBLELIFE®’s products are designed to facilitate the removal of oils and dirt and do so rapidly.
NOTE: ColorSEAL treatments are for use on sanded and non-sanded surfaces. MARBLELIFE’s latest generation technology can also be used on epoxy grout surfaces.
