"The short answer to this is yes. Because natural stone tiles are porous to different degrees, all do require some surface sealer over time. This will help extend the life of your tiles and really get the most out of your investment."

"It is extremely important to seal natural stone and tiles, because sealer acts as a shield against future stains and dirt build-up. Even more so it's important so seal the grout which most of the tilers are not doing when floors are getting laid down."
