If yes, we want to know what s the best sealer for our porcelain tiles we just installed on our floors. Will the sealer make the tiles slippery?We will appreciate your quick answer from y‘all!
I agree with Rob. Not necessary to seal the tile, but it is definitely a good idea to seal the grout.
Generally porcelain tile is used in wet areas. It shouldn't require sealing and is used outdoors in lieu of ceramic tile as it is higher fired and stands up to cold weather better. But it can still be slippery when wet.
Grout ought to be entirely dry. Most sealers are makeup of silicone. Agree with William. - hold the sealer within the grout discipline up to viable. If silicone residue isn't entirely wiped clean from the tiles - it may be lovely slippery.
Porcelain tile, glazed or unglazed do not require a sealer. Suggested for the grout yes but not the tile itself. The tile and its most likely a glazed product will not absorb any thing that will cause it to stain any way. Thus it will not absorb a sealer either. Sealer, since it won t be absorbed , will not make the tile any more or less slippery than the COF rating of the tile. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
contact the company who supplied the tiles, they should know.
