Outdoor tiles vary greatly, while some are made to be sturdy and withstand a great deal of exposure from UV, rain and other elements, common varieties such as limestone and bluestone are naturally very porous and will require sealing. Tiles that are constructed to withstand the elements will also require some protection on your part. Over time, it's common for outdoor tiles to suffer from a wide range of different problems, including staining, cracking and more. By sealing your outdoor tile, you protect your tiles against damage and extend their life.

Outdoor tiles are excellent for decorating the garden, patio or around the exterior of the house, around the swimming pool and of course many other areas. They help create character, enhance the current colour and design scheme and complement outside fixtures. Outdoor tiles help create a mood, organise an otherwise cluttered space and create visual focus, regardless of the size of the area.
Are outdoor tiles different?
Sealing outdoor tiles
Outdoor tiles are exposed to weather and the elements, including sun, rain, wind and frost. Therefore, it is important to determine whether the type of tile you have outside is a tile that requires sealing or not. In general, all porous tiles do require sealing, especially outdoor stone tiles. It is also important to determine which type of sealer you will be using on your outdoor tiles, as different sealers can be used on outdoor tiles, and different sealers are required for different types of tile, which is why we always recommend consulting a professional even if you have decided to do it yourself, as using the wrong type of sealer can mean the sealer on the tiles will start to wear off within a few weeks of application, which will require further work to remove and reapply again correctly, wasting your precious time and money.
Types of sealers used on outdoor tiles
Water based sealers and solvent-based sealer's can both be used on outdoor tiles, however unless absolutely required for a specific reason, we always recommend applying a water based sealer that is UV resistant and won't alter the slip resistance of your outdoor surfaces. Water based sealers do not produce dangerous fumes on application and removal, are a lot easier to apply and remove and also require less drying time.
It is however important to know which type of water based sealer to use on your outdoor tiles, as most water based sealers will not last long outside as they are designed for internal use, so it is important to use a water based sealer that is specifically designed for outside use.
You should always ensure that your tiles themselves are completely clean, before you attempt to seal the tile. This will protect the appearance of the tile, and help to ensure there won't be any dirt or other debris caught under the layer of sealant.
Sealing is the first important step towards protecting your travertine against stains

Penetrating Sealers
Penetrating sealers work by sinking into the substrate and protecting from within. They deposit either a natural or synthetic resin into the pores of the tile and once the sealer is applied, the water or solvent evaporates and leaves the resin within the stone, which then hardens to form an invisible protecting barrier that prevents the stone from absorbing unwanted matter. The major benefit of penetrating sealers is that they allow the stone or tile to breathe and will never peel or scratch.
Tile Cleaners® recommend Australian Deepshield™ Deep Penetrating quality impregnating water based sealers for their outdoor tiles which are UV resistant and importantly wont alter the slip resistance of your surfaces, providing long-term stain resistance and reliability.
A deep penetrating impregnating sealer protects outdoor tiles and grout from water and oil based stains by chemically reacting with the surface pores to create a breathable protective barrier. An impregnating sealer such as Deepshield™ protects your outdoor tiles from absorbing stains while also resulting in cleaning and maintenance becoming much easier. A penetrating impregnating transparent sealer enters the pores of your stone and once cured will not change the look of the stone. A penetrating colour enhancing sealer is designed to enhance and enrich the natural look of stone surfaces.

Film Forming or Topical Sealers.
Topical Sealers form a film on the top of the substrate and provide a coating that protects against damage. The purpose of the sealer is to reduce the natural absorbency of the stone or tile so foreign materials will not sink in but will instead remain on the surface until they can be wiped away.
Gloss and colours can be added to these sealers along with hardeners and non slip grits if needed. Garage, office and factory surfaces really benefit from colour coating sealing.
Solvent based products are more difficult to apply and can create major problems when applied incorrectly as they are very hard to remove. Tile Cleaners® recommend our clients apply a long lasting water based sealer to their outdoor tiles. Topical sealer's (glossy plastic coating over the top of the tiles) are still used on outdoor tiles, but these older style sealers can trap moisture in the stone and make the surface slippery when wet. When a topical sealer wears in higher traffic areas, the entire surface usually needs to be stripped and re-sealed.
Anti-Slip Treatment
Tile Cleaners® provide effective anti-slip treatment for surfaces that become slippery when wet or have become slippery through frequent wear and tear, increasing safety around your home and business. Tile Cleaners® anti-slip treatment is not a coating, therefore, once the floor substrate has been treated no curing time or drying time is required. The floor can be walked on immediately following application, without the risk of slipping, reducing any downtime and preventing you from having to close your business.
Tile Cleaners® anti-slip solutions can be used on ceramic and porcelain tiles, terrazzo, marble and most other stone surfaces and we can provide a no-obligation demonstration and quotation. Our team of skilled technicians are both courteous and professional in providing your non-slip flooring treatment.
If you're interested in making your floors anti-slip and having them treated by our professional team, or would like any further information, please call us on 1300 771 201 or use our online enquiry form.

Concrete and Brick Paver Sealing
Tile Cleaners® takes pride in the services we offer. We are an advanced service provider using premium chemicals and sealers for all our surfaces. The concrete sealers we use have been specifically chosen for maximum protection and beautification of your areas for many years to come.
Patterned or coloured concrete look amazing when they are new. Unprotected, they can immediately begin to fade due to UV damage and quickly discolour when penetrated by foreign matter. Moisture entering below the surface of concrete and freezing at night will cause quick deterioration and shorten concretes life. Tile Cleaners® recommend sealing concrete for protection and to ensure your areas are much easier to manage and clean.

To provide the best possible protection from oil and water-based stains; to maintain the look and slip resistance of your outdoor surfaces and to prevent damaging moisture from being trapped within the stone, outdoor tiles should be sealed with a high quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer.
It is very important to ensure that tiles achieve their cleanest possible condition prior to being sealed. This will protect the appearance of the tile, and importantly ensure that there won't be any dirt, stains or other debris caught under the layer of sealant.
