    Default WHEN to seal filled and honed travertine tiles

    I have purchased " filled and honed travertine tiles " to be used on the wall and floor around the fire place. My question is, is it best to seal them before I install them or install them then seal them or install and grout then seal. Thanking whom ever in advance, Dan L.

    Seal them first, use white flexible adhesive to fix, then grout make sure you clean the grout residue off the tiles then another couple of coats of sealer.

    I would fix, grout but keep it very clean wiping residue, when dry and clean then seal

    On smaller jobs it is easier to seal afterwards BUT we are pro's and know when to seal and not to seal first.. so my advice is 1 seal before and 1 after grouting..
