Should this read 'old quarry tiles'?
The older quarry tiles such as Ruabon and Platts had a very low absorbsion index and as such didn't need sealing - IMO.
However once they were laid and cleaned with a cement remover and when completely dry you can put a HG satin polish on the surface to give them lustre.

Have Ruabon tiles been re-invented yet. I heard on the grapevine of a buy out. News.

And yes i agree certain brands have a low absorption rate....almost vitrified in body..
