Bubblecraft - Thanks for the kind words. They look even better in the flesh and i love them. Which is why I am determined not to cover them in plastic looking gunk. Natural as possible is what I'm after.

DPF - The clue is in the title, NOT LINSEED!:smilewinkgrin: I used it years ago on some old Norfolk pamments, and it looked awful. I don't like what it does to terracotta either, but thanks anyway.

this has had a coat of stainstop on it then osma oil not to dark but you have to be confident in what you do or you could get in a pickle as you can see it doesn't darken it much on the left of the tile it hasn't had the oil on it

Yes that looks Ok, in fact it's rather nice. Certainly doesn't look like it's covered on a thick coat of gunk, and the colour hasn't changed that much either. I think I could live with that. I haven't heard of stainstop or osma oil though. I googled the oil and Osmo oil came up, is that the same?

I had a look at LTP, but the cost is prohibitive on the floor area and amount I'd need to use on these very porous bricks.

Your not a tiler then? If you are doing it yourself most tilers would get in a mess with what I suggested could be risky :yikes: I would risk it on my own floor or if I done it but if you don't know the products :yikes:

No, I'm not a tiler, and I'm a woman :yikes:. At last someone has suggested something I like the look of, but now you're saying it's too complicated for a novice to do. What is it about these two products that makes them so tricky to use?

When you get this all sealled and finished please post a picture. I love how it looks so far. Interested to know more about your little project as my conservatory floor needs doing, and i want something a little different than the norm in there but unsure as to what.
