    Default Cofirmation on what this tile is please..

    My customer has bought these tiles

    Jakarta Black Polished Porcelain Wall/Floor Tile 60x30 - Jakarta Polished Porcelain - Contemporary - Floor Tiles

    On the tile it says ' nitro - granite ' . So are they granite composite or PP ? I'm assuming they would be treated in the same way anyway .
    Also should I seal them prior to grouting ?

    Thanks for any help

    They are polished porcelain and do need sealing. We recommend LTP MPG sealer.

    There is no transit wax.
