Sealant advice

[GC-Terrazzo]

Ok got 300 meters of linestone to polish and am going to polish it with a 120 disc so it will take the shine off the tile, so what sealer should i use to bring a shine back to the limestone.

Is it a customer request to use 120 grit ?

 

[GC-Terrazzo]

yes she has asked for it to be dry polished any higher than 120 and you need to wet polish

That seems a bit rough on limestone.What about all the polish marks it will leave ?

 

[GC-Terrazzo]

It wont leave marks with a 120 it just dulls the limestone, you would need to use a 50 or 36 disc to mark it, anyway thats not what im asking im looking for a sealer already disced 20meter in her sun room and woman loves it just wondering what sealer to use.

To give that a shine then it will have to be a topical sealer..

LTP ironwax gloss..

Do you know if they have an outdoor one that says indoor only

A topical sealer will wear and will need re-doing in high traffic areas quite often. The only way to get a real shine on these is to diamond polish them. If you have not done this before i would be very careful, this is not a diy job.

Its trying to get a diamond polishing machine thats small, it would need to be a ellis machine and there hard to find now,and a terco would just kill a limestone floor we diamond polish supermarkets with a terco with diamond stones and there dull its the lipidliff that gives it a nice shine, but not wanting to try than on limestone and its for terrazzo only.

There are some but as above, why remove the factory finish anyway?

The woman thats getting it done doesnt like the way it looks when just grouted like ceramics, she got inside her house done in limestone that way, so shes asked me to grout it like terrazzo then polish so the joints look alot better finish, so now just trying to get the right sealer as shes set of it getting polished as she loves the way her sun room looks its polished 20 meters
