Sealing required? - TilersForums.com

[Mike]

Do these tiles need sealing? I have heard quartz don't need sealing but just checking. I don't know the name of the tiles sorry, only what's on the box

You shouldn't need to seal them according to most ES manufacturers. Be careful what you clean those with post install. The plastic that binds them is sensitive to being etched by many chemicals (bleach, acetone, etc) despite what the manufacturers of them say.

they are clean, no marks at all thanks. if i ask at the tile shop i know they'll say seal just to be certain so we buy the sealer but i guess it's pointless if it's just going to sit on the tile surface, and yeah rob, i think they'll look good at anfield

Not in the trophy room Mike :smilewinkgrin: Nothing to put in it, just memories.

I've fixed these tiles and not sealed them. The tiles were on a water display as well, but i did seal the grout using Drytreat.

I had the same on mine, and when I googled the translation it came back as "Peking Duck with Hoi Sin sauce, extra rice".

Floor looks great, but strange choice IMO. Was it a footballer by any chance or the WAG?
