I'M LOST IN THE STEPS AFTER I GET MY FLOOR AND GROUT IN. DO I USE SILCONE JUST ON THE GROUT?
DO I USE A GLOSS PAINT OVER THE WHOLE FLOOR?
AND IF SO, IS THERE ANY CERTAIN KIND?
IS THERE ANY NEED TO USE A BUFFER ON THE NEW CERAMIC FLOOR?
THANKS,
JESSICA

Hi Jessica,
You sort of have me confused as well. If your refering to sealers. You should use a sealer on the grout only if you have glazed ceramic tile or porcelain tiles. If you have unglazed tiles and you want them to shine (gloss) You would use some type of a top coat tile sealer and seal all at once (Tile and grout). If I'm totally off base with what you are talking about I apologize. Maybe you can give us some more info. Like what type of tile you have (glazed or unglazed) etc., etc.
At any rate aquamix makes good sealers for almost any tile sealing project. http://www.aquamix.com
Regards and get us more info we may be able to help some more.
