Hiding Seams in Countertops

Grout

• 1

  Select a liquid grout pigment that matches the countertop. If your countertop is multicolored, match the middle color in the countertop. Mix the pigment with a light-gray seam grout in a container until it matches the intended color.

• 2

  Smooth grout in between the seam line with a plastic scraper. Push the grout into the seam to fill the opening completely.

• 3

  Wipe away any excess grout from the countertop with a wet sponge. The seam should become harder to see.

Seam Sealer

• 4

  Purchase a seam sealer compatible with your countertop (e.g., granite or Corian) and the color of your countertop.

• 5

  Squeeze the sealer into the seam of the countertop.

• 6

  Wipe away any excess sealer with a wet sponge. Then allow the sealant to dry in place. The seam will become harder to see.
