You have been considering a floor with cement tiles for a long time and have finally taken the plunge. Great! They look beautiful, but what do you do if a stain appears? You are very pleased with the tiles, but do not want to worry every time you spill something. The solution? Sealing!

What is sealing?

Sealing is a type of protective layer for tiles. Sealing is very important for cement tiles. With other tiles, it can also be useful if they are used in a room where there is a lot of moisture. Sealing prevents oil, water, dirt and so on from penetrating the tile. It repels everything, making it very easy to keep the tiles clean and looking beautiful. With some tiles, the colours even become deeper. Plenty of benefits, then!
Designtegels has the perfect products specially made for cement tiles. You can collect them from our showroom or order them online.

When should you seal?

Before you start sealing, there are a few important steps to follow for the best result. First, clean the tile thoroughly, otherwise, for example, adhesive residue may remain on the tile, and if you then seal it, you will never be able to remove that residue from the tile. You should also only seal cement tiles once you have installed them. The order is therefore very important, which is why Designtegels has a step-by-step guide that explains exactly how to install and seal your cement tiles in the best possible way.
