Hi guys
I am new to the forum and a DIY enthusiast rather than a tradesman. I have some 60cm x 60cm white polished Porcelain tiles made in China by Monet/Cotto cost approx £50 per sqm. I was advised that these tiles do not need sealing by the tile company I bought them from but having reviewed some of the posting on the tile forum I'm wondering whether to seal would still be worthwhile? If I did seal with something like LTP could it damage the tile in any way and should I seal the whole tile or just the glazed surface?
Also could anyone recommend whether it be beneficial to prime a concrete floor or add any latex to the Mapei cement based adhesives Keraquick that I'm using in order to make it more flexible and deal with any unevenness and increase bonding?
The floor had vinyl tiles down and I'm still scrapping the glue off (very slowly).
Finally, would a vitrex versatile power 500 wet saw purchased from B+Q cope with these kinds of tiles?
Any advice much appreciated.
