polished porcelain needs to be sealed with a penertrating impregnator such as lithofin kf impregnator...only glazed porcelain does not need to be sealed...
sealing porcelain closes the pores that grab dirt and stains thus making it easier to clean.........dave...

If you leave the tiling and start again the nest day, please ensure your last tiles are 100% level to each other, check and check again, not just at the 90 degrees, but diagionally. They have a tendancy to pick up or down as you leave the 'dog tooth'.
