    Yes for many years and as yet have never sealed any.
    Have only ever used them in bathrooms and so not open to staining from grease/red wine and I don't believe they are chinese and they are certainly not at the cheaper end of the market.
    I would certainly test the lighter colours to confirm for yourself but it has never been an issue with the 2 shades of grey that we have previously used.

    Hi mick....Eagle is pre-sealed....they are fine as they are.....only thing to watch for on this those tiles is they tend be bowed slightly..but not drastic..

    I have fixed loads of them..nice tiles when down...nedd a good buffing to get them nice and shiny after grouting..

    Hi mate,

    as dave said!

    Some polished tiles get sealed after polishing process. This is not always the case though. Manufacturers will tell a tile retailer whether or not they have been sealed.
