Is sealing the joints necessary?
Grout joints remain very porous. It is therefore highly recommended to seal in order to protect against dirt, calcium, wine, mustard, etc. Having your joints sealed will also ease the maintenance.

Which kind of sealer should I use for natural stone?
There is a wide range of sealers, each with their own features to be suitable for the variety of natural stone.
