Are wall tiles normally not sealed, and just floor tiles?

How long must he wait before applying sealant ? He says 30 days
after grouting floor tiles, and he does not want to seal wall tiles at
all.

Thanks.


The tile or the grout? Unless you have an unglazed tile, then sealing's
not necessary. I suspect you mean the grout.

Grout pertaining to floors are usually sealed. For shower/tub, kitchen
splash walls it's also a good idea. Wall areas in other than non-wet
locations, not necessary.

Depending upon the conditions, weather, etc; 4-5 days is plenty of wait.


PS. Sealing the grout is really a simple chore. Doing it yourself may
save yourself a decent chunk of money. Check your local tile store(s)
for product recommendation.
