I sealed the back patio. I had some slate left over so I used it out back. They do have different kinds of seal as far as the look is concerned. There is a wet look sealer that gives it a bit of a sheen and makes it look darker. I used a neutral seal. I dries with out affecting the appearance of the stone. I personally like that look better.

I have 6 cats and all manner of stuff has been on the floor. Wine, juice, food, poo, vomit... you name it. So far no stains. I probably should seal the stone (at least in the kitchen) but I just have never had the motivation.

Thanks. When we started to lay it (first pic) I got really scared. It looked very dark and I was not sure how it would turn out. Once the grout went in I knew I made the right choice. Now 6 years later, clean up is a breeze and we love it. It has taken on a nice patina and we are very happy. Who ever buys the house will have to love tile floor because it is not coming up. That much I promise.
