Tile substrate?

[Cu0ngsayz]

Ok so I've been reading a little on the slate tiles and was going to use it but I read on the care sheet that you have to seal the tile so urine won't soak in the tiles. So the question is is this a must? How many tile users did this?

If you don't wish to seal the slate, then have several extra sections so that you can remove a few and sterilze them with a bleach solution. While the bleach is offgassing, replace the missing sections with different pieces.

Just make sure your slate is the thickness of "standard" flooring or kitchen tile. If the slate is too thick it will interfere with heating from your UTH.
