        "text": "Grout seals the joints between tiles, but flexible silicone caulk must be used wherever tile planes change direction. This includes inside wall corners, the joint where the wall tile meets the floor, and where tile meets a tub, shower pan, or countertop. Because adjacent walls and fixtures expand, contract, and settle at different rates, rigid grout in corners will inevitably crack and let water seep through. Color-matched, 100% silicone sealant accommodates this natural movement while maintaining a clean, waterproof seal along every structural transition.",
