Where can I find this sealer? What type of sealer do I need?

I have some expensive quartz gem conglomerate floor tiles, made by Compaq (a Spanish company), and bought from Pilkington's near Manchester.

The tiles are anthracite in colour, having a black shiny appearance enhanced with sparkly metallic-looking particles.

I've received conflicting advice about sealing. On the box, it states to use "sealer that conforms to the norm prEN 13888 CG2 ArW". I can't find any sealer that even carries a number that even has a similar format!

Where can I find it?

Alternatively, what kind of sealer is appropriate? Some have solvents, some contain silicones, etc. The wrong choice could ruin the tiles.

Advice will be very welcome. Thanks!
 
Sounds like you need a polished porcelain sealant.
Seal a corner of 1 tile and wait to dry, run water on the tile. If it runs off in beads you've got the right sealant. :wink:
