Some tiling materials have a tendency to absorb the pigment color from the grout. White tiles with matte surfaces or unglazed porcelain finishes are the ones we see that have the most staining issues. It is recommended that you seal porous and sometimes non-porous tile with a \u003ca title=\"Grout Release Tile Grout\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GrwrkY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egrout release\/pre-sealer\u003c\/a\u003e prior to applying the grout. Microscopic surface cracks and crazing in the tile may allow the grout color to stain the tile. Testing a small area prior to use will determine if you need to pre-seal your tiles.

While sanded may be the correct choice for the size of grout lines, it may not be the best choice. Depending upon the polish of the stone the sand in the grout may actually scratch it. If you decide to use sanded make sure you test it in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it will not scratch your finish.
