:confused: Please help on my tiling questions. The cabinets are supposed to be installed in three days! I am building new home and have just finished laying the tile in the kitchen. I am going to seal the tile because they said it was a porus tile.
1. How long do I have to wait to seal the grout after that.
2. Can I seal the whole floor giving the tiles a second coat.
3. How long wait until I can put cabinets on the floor. Or does it have to be sealed under the cabinets at all? Any help appreciated.

I don't see any problem with sealing under the cabinets, if you want to.

Your question on "how long" should be in the sealant container instructions, but one day should be long enough. Or, why not just seal the visible tiles after the cabinets are installed?
