I have 18" black "star galaxy" granite floor tiles. Should they be sealed - the supplier said don't bother, but I am not sure. If yes, what sealant should I use, and should it be done before or after grouting? | ||||||||||

If the granite is in a high traffic area, say a kitchen floor then i would seal before and after grouting. | ||
