I'm making DH nuts with my worrying that the tile isn't sealed right.
Does marble absorb water cracked#
The mini floor tiles are also getting patches of discoloration, which seems to coincide with where water may be seeping in at cracked grout lines (where wall meets YIKES). I can't figure out if this is just that it is never fully drying out, and/or if the soap/water scum building up on the surface is trapping the water inside the tile?ĭuring a shower, tiles halfway up the wall look like they absorb some water in from the grout line (it kind of "bleeds" into the tile). The bottom row of tile in the shower has turned permanently darker blue. The soap dispenser always has a dark water ring under it, b/c a bit of water runs down the side every time you use it. Unless the countertop is wiped down after splashing, we get a darker rim around the sink that lasts 12-24 hours as the marble dries again. Sounds like the lighter the stone, the more sealant required? I've read tons of related threads, so understand that some darkening is fine, and the breathable sealer is desirable. the contractor put at least one coat of sealant on, but the marble seems to darken too easily with water. It's called Azul Cielo - light blue and sparkly. Our bathroom was just redone as part of a major renovation, and we have marble that I love, love love for vanity counter and wall/floor tiles in walk-in shower.
