Hi

Ive been tiling for 12 years.And have laid alot of stone

I recently just finished a floor laid with sand stone

I have sealed it now 3 times once prior to grouting and twicw after grouting

Do you think i should put a stone oil over the top just to make sure as i no Sand Stone is very porus

any suggestions

I would use a sealer called Protex which is made by Tenax. Ideal for sandstone.

You seal stone to the point of saturation, where as it does not accept anymore sealer... Use a sealer that will allow the stone to breath but still protects.

A good impregnator will do this, what have you been sealing with .?

OH and don't mix sealers once you have started..

As you mentioned that you want to replace the red and black tiles with a stone flooring. The stone flooring is a good choice for kitchen because it is very easy to maintain and has a high quality of brightness that's why the rush stain will be easily removed. So,according to me, it is a good option.
