should i seal these tiles?

[Brad]

hi all......

have a sealing question....

am tiling a shower over the long weekend. customer has UNGLAZED ceramic tiles (slate effect). i know that generally speaking ceramic tile does not need to be sealed, but the fact that it is unglazed worries me.

any advice please....

thanks

hi brad do a moisture check {wet your finger wipe on tile does water penetrate the tile or wipe off leaving no water mark} if water goes in id recomend sealing check with tile supplier to see which sealer is recomended most likley a impregnator so as not to make surface slippery

thanks jay. did some further investigating after my query. seems as tho sealing is the answer. going to use a product called mattstone from a company called LTP. check out their website, its good. thanks for the interest mate.
