I have a new shower and I would like the seal the grout before we
start using it. It is a standard sand type grout.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Latex or silicon?

Any specific brand?

Why do you suggest silicon over latex?

Could it be that silicone sealer may penetrate grout better, easier?

Silicone is easier to use, but there are a number of (what I think are
better) products on the market that are heavy silanes. I find these to
be easy to use and quite effective. One such product is

Just Google: grout sealer silane

There are also water proofing materials based on nanoparticle admixtures
that are being developed which are starting to reach the market.
