seal the tiles, personally i would give them a couple of coats. Seal before putting down, then seal once they are down, but thats only my way of doing it

you will want a penetrating sealer.
i prefer aquamix products,but there is also..hg/lithofin/fila products.
imo stay away from the sheds,i dont know what sort of sealers they sell,better to stick to a tile retailer/shop.
