Unfilled Travertine Mosaic

[CDS]

Fitted a travertine mosaic feature wall this morning (approx 4sq.m) - Its 'unfinished' rather than filled and honed - would you seal this before grouting or after? Obviously the grout is going to fill any holes but can't make up my mind if sealing before or after is going to be better? Cheers

I would grout then seal but be extra clean when washing down, any grout haze needs to be removed before any sealer is applied.....

As above, the sealer will run into the holes.

Same for me....

Yep, if you seal it the sealer will stop the grout from adhering to the pockets properly, grout, clean of and seal.
