Any top tips for laying natural stone tiles?

[sean105m]

We are laying natural stone tiles on the floor and walls of our bathroom, these tiles also need to be sealed after laying, they are big tiles as well 300x400x10.

Apart from me hiring a professional tiler, has anyone got any good tips on laying natural stone tiles?

Thanks

Sean

Seal before laying, seal after laying, seal before grouting - you won't regret it

would you seal the backs of the tiles before laying?

thanks

Nah.

Also if they are different thicknesses, like the slate ones I layed, then graduate the tiles.

I found I had to "butter" the back of some thinner tiles to maintain a level surface.
