Color Accuracy Disclaimer:

Color Representation & Variation

We make every effort to display our grout colors as accurately as possible. However, please note that the actual color of the product in your home may vary from what you see on your screen.

  • Monitor Settings: Every digital screen is calibrated differently; brightness, contrast, and resolution can all alter the perceived shade.
  • Lighting Conditions: Grout colors are highly reactive to their environment. A color may appear different under natural sunlight compared to warm incandescent or cool fluorescent indoor lighting.
  • Surface Compatibility: The texture and existing color of your grout can also affect the final appearance.


Key Safety & Chemical Facts

• PFAS and Grout Sealers: While many traditional grout sealers contain fluoropolymers (a type of PFAS) to provide oil and water repellency, GroutGuard’s formula is based on high-performance resins that create a physical top-coat barrier rather than a chemical repellent layer.

  •   Eco-Friendly Claims: The product is marketed as non-toxic and low-VOC, making it safe for indoor use around children and pets once fully cured.
  •   PFOA/PFOS Free Competitors: Some alternative
    "eco-safe" grout products explicitly market themselves as having "No PFOAs" and "No Fluorochemicals," but GroutGuard color Seal focuses its marketing on its proprietary resin blend.
  • GroutGuard may carry a California Proposition 65 warning, which is often standard for products containing certain pigments like titanium dioxide or trace amounts of chemicals used in resin manufacturing.
