Grout Discolouration
Clean grout that becomes yellowed or stained with a fiber brush, cleanser, and water. Grout
cleansers and whiteners are available at most hardware stores.
Sealing Grout
The grout in your suite is unsealed. Sealing grout is your decision and responsibility. Sealing your
grout may keep your grout cleaner for a longer period of time. Please visit your local hardware
store for grout sealant products and applicators.
Separations
Expect slight separations to occur in the grout between tiles. This grout is for decorative purposes
only; it does not hold the tile in place. Cracks in the grout can be filled using premixed grout
purchased from flooring or hardware stores. Follow package directions.
Tile around bathtubs or countertops may appear to be pulling up after a time. This is caused by
normal shrinkage of grout or caulk and shrinkage of wood members as they dry out. If this occurs,
the best remedy is to purchase tub caulk or premixed grout from a hardware store. Follow
directions on the container. This maintenance is important to protect the underlying surface from
water damage.
Initial Orientation and Warranty Guidelines
For warranty information, please refer to the “National Tile (2005) Ltd. Warranty”, included in your
Welcome Package. During the initial orientation, we confirm that tile and grout areas are in
acceptable condition. During the warranty period, we will repair cracked tiles or grout as follows:
Tile, One-Time Repair
We will repair or replace cracked or loose tiles one time, at the Year End Corrective Period (please
refer to the “Warranty Service” tab for more information.) We are not responsible for variations in
colour or discontinued patterns. New grout may vary in colour from the original.
Grout, One-Time Repair
Cracks appearing in grouting of ceramic tiles at joints or junctions with other materials are
commonly due to shrinkage. The Developer will repair grouting, if necessary, one time at the
Year End Corrective Period (please refer to the “Warranty Service” tab for more information). We
are not responsible for colour variations in grout or discontinued coloured grout. Any grouting or
caulking that is needed after that time is your responsibility.
Please note that swirl marks on marble products are normal. The product supplier writes that
“markings on the polished tiles are a characteristic of the stone” (National Tile). For more
information regarding same, please refer to the “National Tile (2005) Ltd. Swirl Marks in Marble
Letter”. This letter was included in your Welcome Package.
