Some unglazed and natural products require sealers to keep the surface easy to clean and keep the product maintained. Tilemax imports many polished porcelain tiles that feature a “nano technology” sealed surface to save the sealing requirement after installation, hence these products do not require sealing. However after prolonged use or extreme wear these products may require resealing to maintain the surface.
