    I've used a similar slate mosaic and just treated it as I would a slate floor. I haven't used that particular sealer before so can't comment on that.

    I grouted these slate mosaics, sealed first with Lithofin slate seal. They were grouted on the display at Porcelanosa. So I presumed they should be grouted.
