In many cases the crack is fine and barely visible to the naked eye but still requires sealing to stabilize.


Dull Flat Tile.

Every floor finish becomes dull in time, do not think that it is different with tiles. No matter is your floor flat or glossy finished, scratches and dirt will make your tile look very dull and old, in comparsion to the look they had when you installed them.
