Do Quarry Tiles Need Sealing

Since quarry tiles are made from dense clay, their absorption rate is quite low, meaning that it’s not compulsory to seal them. However, if you’re using them in high traffic areas like in a kitchen or hallway, where staining is more likely, you could seal with LTP Mattstone Sealer.

Should quarry tiles be sealed?

Although it’s sometimes advised that quarry tile should always be sealed, this is not necessarily true. … So, for normal wear, sealing is not required for this type of tile, but for abnormal wear, such as high traffic, oil, and grease, you may want to seal the tile. If so, you should use a water-based penetrating sealer.

How do you maintain quarry tiles?

Multi-purpose products or plain soap and water used regularly are sufficient to keep quarry tile clean. Avoid using no-rinse enzymatic or acid-based cleaners as the combination of heat, food contaminants and cleaner will cause the grout to become soft and will permanently damage it.
