Cement tiles are very durable and with care will last many decades. I have seen many in great condition in Cuba, Morocco and Framce that are around 100 years old or more.

You will need to seal as needed. Usually every few years. We recommend using Miracle 511 porous plus sealer.

Thank you, what does the sealing process consist of, does it need to be bugged by a professional and put down or is it simply spraying product on it?

Sealer can be applied with a paint roller or paint brush. You seal once before grout, let the sealer cure for 2-3 days before grout. Then seal once more after grout. Visit the installation page on our website to see the installation instructions and watch the installation video.
