IndyBeak wrote: ↑ Quartzite is just the apperance of it. The HD product desctiption says it is porcelain. Just make sure it says the same on the packaging as well. And yes, porcelain wont need any sealing.

IndyBeak wrote: ↑ Ok then it must be ceramic. What is there on the box matters. HD description appears to be a bit misleading. Having said that, ceramic is also good for the floor and wont need to be sealed. In case you use sanded grout, you may consider to seal just the grout lines.

Also why did my contractor tell me not to use dark color tiles for the floor? He says it is difficult to keep and maintain clean. I was thinking the other way that lighter colors are difficult to keep clean. Since he knows less than 10% english, it is hard to understand his explanation.
