sealing sandstone - TilersForums.com

[david campbell]

got another bonus tonight when a guy phoned to confirm a sandstone floor i had priced,the only problem is these look like an inbetweeen of tiles and paving slabs!
what would the best sealer for these be? and it's not to be a colour enhancer!

 

[DHTiling]

IMO.. A water based sealer.. less chance of any colour change...

So Aquamix sealers choice gold.. for me

stain stop ?

 

[david campbell]

do you think these will prevent any stains from grouting also?

 

[Perry]

i have just used it on a patio i am laying not grouted it yet but the sand and cement wouldent stick to it came of as clean as a whistle

 

[DHTiling]

Stainstop.. 5 yr guarantee..

Aquamix.. 15 yrs..

 

[DHTiling]

Tradetiler Aqumix Tile Sealer

 

[Perry]

Dave never used or seen aqumix i presume water based sealers have got better over the years then ?

 

[DHTiling]

All i use now pete.. i was a none believer.. till i tried it..

cheers guys! will have a look at both of them will probably go with daves cause of the 15 yr guarantee,would you suggest a few coats or will one before and after grouting suffice?
