    I need to seal my Niro Granite Regal vanilla porcelain tiles.

    Topps have the following products....

    (a) "Filajet" unpolished porcelain tile sealer
    (b) FILA polished porcelain impregnator sealer.

    Whice one (if any) are suitable for my tiles. I don't know if they are polished or not (how do I tell?)

    polished tiles have a smooth shiny look to them!
    and will say so on the box,if they aren't polished you don't really need to seal them!

    If the porcelain is not glazed then it will need sealing...

    Polished / smooth / or riven can need sealing if there is no glaze...

    Through bodied porcelain tiles have open pores in the surface of the tile and polishing them opens even more , so if not glazed they will benefit from a porcelain impregnator to seal these pores from holding any dirt etc and makes the maintenence of these tiles easier...

    Thanks for the input gents. I have gone for the Lithofin FZ, had to order it but hey, it seems to be the weapon of choice for the job (as per many posts on here).
