dry treat

[jonnyc]

anyone had much experience with dry treat products.
the litertaure and tests seem very good but price seems quite dear although one could offset this against their claim of 15 years guarantee without resealing,i guess..
ive never had them specified till recently and now come up for an external stone job and porcelain from porcelanosa.
why are porcelanosa recommending their porcelain needs sealing.
i thought they produced the best quality, ceratinly charge a premium rate for their products.

I have never sealed porcelain before and never had a come back.

Hi mate, I rate Dry treat. I attended a one hour training course, so I could become an accredited applicator this means, if you can use a paint roller, you have passed the test.

I was very impressed with the demo, the rep explained that the molecules in dry treat are 200 times smaller than any other impregnator. So it penetrates far deeper. The rep had made two small cups (egg cup sized) from cement based grout, one he had treated with dry treat the other not. He then poured a small amount of water into the untreated cup, and within a few seconds water started to drip from the cup. He then poured the same amount of water into the treated cup, not even a drop.

He then put his lips to the treated cup, and blew, to my surprise bubbles erupted from the cup, it seems this stuff will not allow water ingress, but allows the stone, porcelain. etc. to breath, I'm sure there are other products on the market that do the same, but having used dry treat on numerous jobs, I for one am a fan.

The Dry Treat rep near me keeps asking me to do his one hour traing course as a few tile suppliers near me supply drt treat. I have used it a few times and seems very good, but quite expensive.

no its not poliashed.
rectified full bodied porcelain.
dry treat literature only mentions polished porcelain but when you call they say can seal all porcelain with metacreme

That works with all good quality premium sealers.

Quite a few brands about. is this your own job or one you have to clean as part of your business..?

I am talking about personal use. Because in business we use you know, not the best sealer.
