best sealer for travertine?? - TilersForums.com

[Proper Job]

applying a sealer or impregnator after grouting is a bad idea it takes ages for the grout haze to go, your just sealing it to the tile
----
should say grout dust

Done quite a few travertine jobs and always used litholin mn stain stop.On occasions have used with litholin colour enhancer. litholin tech support i found are great and definatly worth a call if in any doubt.

Any of you lot tried to seal 60x60 Evo Calacatta porcelain tiles with any of the suggested sealers.
The tiles are from Italy and are from the Rondine Factory.
Rondine reccomend Fila products but of all the variuos combinations of products tried and tested on showroom tiles, nothing works as shoe marks/trafficked ares are clearly visible within the tile and will not be cleaned afterwards, even after doing this with several variations of product on new tiles.

bet you cant give me a concrete answer!!

thanks

Since posting originally i have tried a lot of sealers.Turns out ltp mattstone is the best for sealing travertine...Why?
Its the easiest to use,it doesnt streak,its a sensible price and as a bonus its a british product

Just tried sealers choice gold last week....good stuff..pricey though..

I use Aqua mix Sealers choice gold. Once the floor has been grouted and dried i use a white scrub pad on my floor scrubber (Dry) this remove every bit of residue, then once clean i apply sealer.
