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.
