Advice on Vitrex - TilersForums.com

Hi all, i'm doing Brazilian slate tiles and my client got vitrex tile sealer. It says, can be used on marble slate etc. Used Lithofin and Fila before. Is Vitrex ok for slate?

Hi Tony.. at the end of the day mate, you is da tiler/// if you do not know the product and are not confident to give a guarantee with it, then tell the customer to return and
use what you feel comfortable with... never chance your reputation..

Dear Tony

We would always use a Lithofin Colour Enhancer on slate or similar products for the best finish

Best Wishes

That is why i'm here. Just don't believe in sealer for everything (from homebase). i am not comfortable with this one, so asked here. And My contractor will get sealer that i trust
