Sealing Porcelain tiles ?

**STEVEROG** · 27-02-2009

The better-half has picked the tiles for the en-suite bathroom, I now have to fit them!

The tiles are NIRO Granite 300mm x 300mm Porcelain.

There is a label on the box warning that the tiles must be 'sealed' before I fit them. Can somone tell me how I do this please? and also what the product is that I need to purchase to do the job? and maybe a hint where I can buy it?

The top of the tiles are not glossy, is this the problem?

Hey, what about the FILA stuff from Topps Tiles? They have either....

(a) Filajet for unpolished porcelain
(b) Fila polished porcelain impregnator sealer

If any of these are any good that would be great as I am not too far from Topps Tiles. I am not sure if my tiles are polished or not, how do I tell? They have a matt finish to them if that means anything.
