Discuss Reclaimed brick floor, advice to choose sealer please (not linseed). in the Tiling News; Tile News area at TilersForums. USA and UK Tiling Forum

Please checkout the following advertisement.
I've just laid a reclaimed brick floor in my kitchen (full bricks, 2.75 inches thick). I haven't pointed them yet, as I need to seal them first. Problem is, I need help to choose what type to get. I love the natural colour, mellow and rustic, so ideally I don't want that to change. However, the surface is rough and I can imagine that, leaving them with a matt finish, they will be a nightmare to clean. So, the ideal scenario is to seal it with something that won't change the colour and lets the floor breathe, and is either a delicate silk finish, or add a top coat to achieve the same effect. What I definetly would hate is any darkening/plastic looking finish. Also a high gloss isn't the look I'm after. So, can someone please help?

LTP Mattstone then LTP Clear wax will create an identical look on brickwork

Haha... No worries Ali. I was going to go down the Mattstone & Clear Wax route on some terracotta tiles at the start of the year being fitted outside. I had fitted them in the kitchen also and sealed with LTP mattstone H2O and then Ironwax satin but this combo can't be used externally so LTP recommend the other products to give the same look.

That was inside and was patina. I always kept away from wax, it attracts dirt and needs buffing all the time to stop it being slippery. Are you using a wire cut outside ?
