Do Porcelain Tiles Need Sealing?

Yes — Porcelain Tiles Should Be Sealed

Yes — Porcelain Tiles Should Be Sealed

After nearly 20 years specialising in cleaning and sealing all types of tiles and pavers, we've consulted hundreds of distraught customers who wished they'd never chosen porcelain. The common story is the same: after only one to two years the porcelain becomes almost impossible to clean and always looks dirty.

Tile shops, tilers and builders often won't tell you this, because the truth costs extra. The reality is simple — porcelain tiles should be sealed immediately after they've been laid.

Already Laid? The ECO Clean & Seal Process

If sealing immediately after laying isn't possible, the ECO Clean & Seal process — using industry-leading Aqua Shield HD sealer — is the perfect choice to renew and protect your porcelain tiles. We'll bring back the beauty of your porcelain floors and make them far easier to keep clean.

A Word of Caution

Opinions Are Not Facts

Google and AI searches pull from opinion websites that can never replicate nearly 20 years of on-the-job experience. Don't take the risk — avoid the stress and thousands of wasted dollars on unsealed porcelain floors that become hard to clean after only a couple of years. You can enjoy easy-to-clean porcelain floors for many years, but they must be sealed.

Porcelain Sealing FAQs

Should I really seal porcelain tiles? +
Yes. Despite what you may be told, most porcelain is porous enough to trap dirt and stains in the surface and grout. Sealing with Aqua Shield HD keeps it easy to clean and looking new for years.
Should I seal porcelain and travertine? +
Yes. These porcelain and calcium-based stone surfaces are porous, leaving them susceptible to acidic stains. Many everyday foods — lemon, wine, tomato and coffee — are acidic and can cause damage.
Is one coat of sealer enough for porcelain? +
Yes. One flood coat of Aqua Shield HD is all that's required — unlike many other sealers that need at least two.
Will sealing change how my porcelain looks? +
No. Aqua Shield HD is a penetrating sealer. Once cured it won't alter the appearance of your tile, and it won't darken, yellow or leave a shine.
My porcelain is already hard to clean — can it be fixed? +
In most cases, yes. The ECO Clean & Seal process deep-cleans the tile and grout, then seals with Aqua Shield HD to protect it going forward.
