Nowadays one of the most popular tiles installed is a porcelain wood look tile planks. These tiles come in rectangle planks just like wood flooring but are made of porcelain as opposed to wood. Unlike wood flooring which scratches, scuffs, is water sensitive and needs to be refinished periodically, porcelain tiles can last a lifetime with little maintenance. The benefit of that natural wood grain look without the maintenance required of wood flooring make these tiles extremely popular. However, one commonly overlooked factor is the grout lines. To achieve a true genuine wood look the grout lines must blend seamlessly or else it just reverts back to the standard tile and grout look. However matching grout colors exactly to a tile is very difficult. Many times the actual grout color looks different than the sample swab or stick you may have used to choose the grout. Once grout is put in it is very difficult to remove and replace with a different color grout without making a lot of dust and risking chipped tiles. Grout Works of Central NJ offers a solution that we have done for thousands of homeowners in NJ. We can actually stain an existing grout to the exact color of the tiles. We actually customize a stain on site to match the tiles seamlessly so that we can make the grout color the exact one that will match perfectly to the tiles. The stain we use cannot be discerned that it is in the grout and the grout looks completely natural. See the pictures in this post of some wood look tiles we have changed the grout color to blend beautifully in to the tiles.
Finally, we seal the grout as well so that the grout color will not stain, darken or discolor from spills and routine dirt. The highly durable grout seal we use makes cleaning grout
