sealing natural stone tiles

[brett71]

Hi There

I know I need to seal natural stone tiles, but at what point would you do this?

before you put them up or after, I then assume you would give them a second seal after grouting?

is this correct

Thanks

Brett

As long as you don't get the tiles mucky whey laying, you can seal them after you've laid them. Then a second seal after you have grouted.

Varies from with stone type. Some like Marble hardly need sealing at all and can be sealed after grouting. Others like soft Limestone you'd want to seal before grouting or even a part seal before laying.
