Common Questions

Does Laticrete Permacolor grout need to be sealed?

Because each project is different, LATICRETE is not responsible for the consequences of variations in such conditions or unforeseen conditions. PERMACOLOR® Select does not require sealing.

How long does Laticrete Permacolor grout take to cure?

Conduct a test area to verify results. In submerged applications or steam rooms, allow PERMACOLOR® Grout∧ to cure for 14 days at 70°F (21°C) prior to filling it with water or exposing it to steam.
