|  Sealer | |
Good afternoon!
I am new to this web site, but see there has been some useful help re tiling.
I am currently having an extension built on my property and will be laying travertine stone tiles, approx 60sqM. I am finding conflicting advice re the sealant I should use. The room will be a kitchen, living room ,dining room and ideally we would like a gloss or semi gloss finish.
Could I please have some "honest" advice as to what I should be using and the best place to buy this from.
Thanks

That's not really a product i would recommend for travertine though......great for pavers/slabs and terracotta to achieve a sheen but it is a topical maintenance sealer/wax and not an impregnator.....which is what i would recommend... |
