when will i need to seal the tiles after fitting before grouting, or before fitting the tiles. they are a light sand colour with a matt finish. it doesn't say on the box and i bought them from homebase and knew more than the staff i asked.

i here some porcelain tiles need sealed on the underside before fixing as it can draw the adhesive through and show slightly on the polished finish is this the same for a matt finish or is this ****e info!

I seal porcelain after fixed and grouted ( if needed ) I usally test an off cut with an inky and see how easy it wipes off.

Never heard of sealing the backs of them, would use white addy on them anyway if shaddowing is your concern.
