Natural Stone Travertine Sealer?

[MattOsprey]

Hi all,
Just getting a tiler in to fit my Travertine Honed and Filled tiles.
He has explained that these need sealing before and after fitting.
He has told me that the sealer is expensive and recommended that I try to find some on-line first.
This forum seems the best place to look.
The tiles are B&Q 457x305mm.
They are for inside 2 showers and also the floor in the bathroom.
There is about 30m2.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks all.
Matt

lol Matt, this is an advice forum, we don't sell stuff on here
I'd advise LTP mattstone though

Hi

If you have a Tile Giant nearby, we sell LTP sealers. In the LTP range you have a choice of either Mattstone or Colour Intensifier depending on the finish you would like. They are approx £18 a litre and you will probably need 2 litres. Hope this is of some help

Hello matt and welcome...

Can i ask why your tiler isn't doing the sealing of the stone?, this process should be done by a competent person who has experiance in this...If done wrong it can be a nightmare to put right....Is he experianced in stone installation..?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the replies.
Dave, he is doing the sealing. He has another job also, and said that as I was on-line a lot it might be worth me finding what the best advice was.
As for Tile Giant, unfortunately there isn't one for 80 miles.
Could someone suggest another store.
I have tried the LTP on-line coverage test, and a teaspoon of water is still on there after 1 hour, with over half still there.
This is all great help.
Thanks.
Matt

I am pretty sure you can buy from the LTP website
