stain stop plus or colour intensifier

[weissy]

i am trying to get wet look for external patio slate floor and was advised to get lithofin stain stop plus

what is better stain stop plus or lithofin colour intensifier ??

[Dave]

Hello and welcome........neither will give you a wet look....they are impregnators...Topical sealers give the wet look but cannot last long when used outside...

[weissy]

whats going to give me the closest to what i am looking for with at least 2 year service ??please \?

[Dave]

Lithofin slate seal will give you a gloss/wet look but will last about a year depending on conditions exposed to.....

I only use lithofin but there might be other brands that members can recommend to use outside and leave a wet look....

[weissy]

i believe the slate seal would only last about 1 year at most and 100 m sq would be a bit expensive to cover annually.......and someone did say that teh slate not really suitable for outdoors?? what do you think ??

[Dave]

I don't think it's really suitable.....but when you are after a wet look...this will be the problem ..because it is a topical/surface sealer that will give that look and these won't last long outside...
