Polish for external quarry tiles - TilersForums.com

[grimster]

Recently tiled an external step with quarry tiles. After grouting I sealed it with Thompsons Water Seal to help protect against frost. I should have read these forums first. The seal didn't really soak in and now the tiles are a pain to keep clean as there's a very slight sticky residue. I'd like to polish them up a bit. Any recommendations for what to do?

Doing a similar job this week. Researched the Ruabon site for details and they say that they do not need any sort of sealing. There is also info on there about cleaning, go to Dennis Ruabon Welsh Clay Products - Quarry Tiles & Clay Pavers and search for Quarry tile technical data sheet 10 - Cleaning and Maintenance 1.

Thanks. I'll give that a go. I'll let you know how I get on!

when using this product outside it doesnt require sealers...but if they were used in side where they could be exposed to staining from acidic products etc...then you can seal them.....dave...
