Victorian porcelian tiles to be sealed/enhanced

[Lcfclcfc]

Can colour enhancer be used on victorian porcelian tiles? and which is a good one to use?

anyone??

Any pictures of the floor? If they're Victorian they're unlikely to be porcelain.

As above, are they a Victorian unglazed dust pressed ceramic, or a porcelain , if porcelain ,porosity around 0.05 an impregnating colour enhancer will not penetrate this and will sit only in the surface pores this could then traffic or go patchy with maintenance fairly quickly , not recommended
Pics would be good

So is Amtico from the Old Amtico tree and Karndean from the Old Karndean quarry or are they both crude oil based products? So you basically are offering to install a by product of crude oil ​

Post No4 by Bob gave you your answer!

 

[Lcfclcfc]

yes i saw that but he asked for photo's which i put on and thought he may make another comment?

 

[Lithofin BOB]

Can you confirm porcelain or unglazed ceramic? Do these come as sheets or individual tiles or larger tiles. Perhaps the guys can determine this from the photo.

My concern with a colour enhancer if it were an unglazed tile and will also have minor porosity, is also these can send pale or white tiles slightly grubby looking.

If this was the case , why not just put a suitable simple impregnator for water and oil reppelance .this will generally not change the appearance.

They are small individual tiles if that helps
