Laid some cheap Lowes porcelain tile down on my main workbench over the weekend....cheapest stuff they had in a straight bright white color. This was the 1st tiling job I've ever done, and just wanted something that was bright and wouldn't allow dirt/grease/oil/metal chips, etc to embed into the bench.
Tiles - Emser Snow White 12x24 porcelain floor & wall tile, PEI 4
Mortar - Mapei Large Format Floor Tile gray powder Thinset/Medium bed mortar
Grout - Mapei Keracolor S white sanded grout, 1/8" grout spacing.
Sealer - Tilelab grout sealer (this came from Home Depot, forgot to buy it with the rest of the stuff.
Laid the tile down Saturday, grout last night. Waiting for everything to fully dry for a couple days, and wondering if there's a specific grout sealer I should be using now for workbench/garage use, or if the random bottle I grabbed off the shelf is going to be OK? Not so much concerned with staining as I am with things like oil, carb/brake cleaner, etc getting on it and eating away at the grout/tile.
