Natural garden tiles, do they need sealing?

Hi all,


I'm in the process of planning my courtyard garden and am looking for some advice. We'll be removing crazy paving and hopefully replacing it with these tiles – https://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod45592/elias-15-handcrafted-rojo-tile.html


I'd envisaged them laid on a base of gravel or sand (see beautiful garden below courtesy of grdndesign.co.uk). These tiles say they need to be grouted and sealed etc.


Can anyone advise if these could be laid directly onto gravel/sand without adhesive/grout etc. And if so, would we still need to treat them? What would happen if we didn't? (We'd like a natural finish, not a 'polished' one, but we still want it to last.)


Many thanks :-)
