Using Tiles Outdoors

All you need is to purchase some sealer at your local craft supply store. Be sure it is for outdoor use and is non-yellowing.

Your coats should be light and you should do several (drying between each) making sure to cover all exposed portions of the tile. These should last a very long time and if you happen to notice any fading do more sealing.

This technique works on all surfaces that have been printed or painted (wood, metal, tile, glass, etc).

Another tip, if you'd like to use the tile on the floor or on the counter (grouting it in) use the same technique. The sealer will be tough enough to protect the tile and choose your gloss or matte finish to match what you already have on the surface.
