My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    You can clean these tiles with dry cloth and you can seal it as regular natural stone tile specifications. You can buy the sealant on major retailer home improvement stores and seal it based on their instructions. Thanks.
