Q: Do porcelain tiles need sealing?

• <div><p>Like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-glass-tile.htm">glass tiles</a>, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tile for a bathtub surround?

• <div><p>Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that&rsquo;s also low-maintenance&mdash;you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it&rsquo;s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.</p></div>

Q: Does penny tile need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.</p></div>

"Was unable to attend the inspection but I was very pleased with the results. The report was highly detailed and included items that I never noticed during my two visits to the unit, such as missing grout against a threshold. Was pleased with attentive customer service too. One drawback was it was more expensive than I was expecting, but I think I received value for my money. Would use again and would recommend to others."
