If your house has tile or stone then you know that you need to have a plan to keep them clean. Stone tile is a perfect flooring option for many homes. You can use it in particular areas such as bathrooms and kitchens or main areas of the home as well. Stone is a great choice when you want to have an elegant and beautiful result. Another aspect of the stone that you want to be aware of is that the stone has been placed and secured with grout as well. Some people have thin grout and others have thicker grout. The grout is just as important as the stone and caring for it has a particular set of rules. When you have grout that is not sustained or that has started to become damaged and even broken, it can cause the stone to become loose and damaged as well. There are several reasons that your grout can start to become damaged. Silver State Floor Restoration outlines what could be causing your grout to be damaged.
