Question: Does slate tile flooring need to be sealed?
Top Answer (45% of 48 votes): Always.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Slate tile flooring generally needs to be sealed in most cases. Sealing slate helps to protect it from stains and moisture, enhancing its durability and maintaining its appearance over time. The porous nature of slate can make it susceptible to absorbing liquids and staining, so applying a sealant is an important step in preserving its quality, especially in areas where it might be exposed to spills or moisture. The specific type of sealant and frequency of resealing can depend on the type of slate and its usage.
