    Default Quartz composite tiles - sealing advice

    New here, so apologies with getting straight into a request for help.

    We've laid two floors with these composite (~95% quartz) tiles with a third going in soon. They look great after cleaning and a once-over with a mop, but when they dry the colour is nowhere near as deep as when they're slightly wet.

    Is there a sealer I can apply that will bring the colour out the same way, but without making them dull?

    I was looking at AquaMix Enrich 'n' Seal, as that seems to work with quartzite (is that the same as composite?) but it says it's no-sheen. Does that mean matte, or does it just mean it doesn't add any extra gloss to the surface?

    One floor is kitchen, so needs to stand the occasional food spill, the other two are bathrooms so it should be waterproof.

    Thanks for any advice and ideas.

    Thanks, I'll take a look. With three separate floors covered in this, I'd like to find something that helps keep it looking good.
