DIY Related: Sealant advice needed

[gixer11]

Hi guys, im about to start grouting new tiles in ensuite and need some advice on what sealant to use on the natural stone mosaic border ive fitted, the rest of the tiles are ceramic. Also, do i need to seal the grout in the shower, ive bought a bag of Bal Microflex with Microban. Cheers guys.

What stone do you have ? Travertine ?
As for sealing the grout , You can if you like. I dont unless specifically asked to do so.

Hi Neale, well it says trav on the reciept mate, but they are black and white and look and feel more like marble to me.

[Sir Ramic]

Are they gloss ?
What is the name of them and where did you get them from ?

[gixer11]

They are called Paladiane Negro from Global Stone Ltd Neale and i wouldnt say they were glossy mate.

Looks more marble to me so i would have a look here
LTP Online | Pick Finish

[Sir Ramic]

On their website it does say "All marble is tested against staining and treated where required."

[Sir Ramic]
