Polymer grout - sealing

Depends why you need to seal it.
Sealing grout is not really very effective. It does work, but not forever. I normally don't use it because of the fact it doesn't work forever ( you are supposed to reapply it now and then but who does that? ). So I would use normal grout in dry areas and epoxy in wet. I have to say that I haven't used the polymer ( that I am aware of ) so can't comment but if it is as good as they say then it would make a good alternative for semi-wet areas like a bathroom floor. I would still use epoxy for something like a shower until someone tells me it's as good as epoxy! It would be nice to use it though if it is good, epoxy is expensive and difficult to apply.

I didn't want to use epoxy as it didn't sound easy to use.
It's for a shower area around the bath, so would have been ideal really. Polymer added was the next best. I've ordered some sealer, as I need to seal some slate tiles.
I'll probably give it a go on the grout, then never coat again as you say, lol
