Tile Sealers From B & Q Trade Point Or Wickes

[Spud]

There are many good companies selling sealers , the ones I trust are Lithofin, Fila and ltp, the reason is because they have worked reliably on the jobs I have tiled over the past 28 years I have been in the industry, I have seen other sealers used on jobs and they have failed to do what they are supposed to, one sealer brand we were supplied on a job took 10 coats as opposed to 3 coats of fila , even after 10 coats the stone wasn't sealed enough and needed to be stripped and redone with fila , Lithofin stain stop has been at the top of the tree for many years and still is one of the best products on the market in my opinion , back this up with there technical support and it's why they are the trusted brand for many tilers

Hi

Wickes and B & Q do large 2L tins of all kinds of sealers in the general building section (not the tiling section)
Some of them are wax and acrylic types however I want to know if anyone knows which are the "impregnating" types. They are like 30£ each and I cant tell unless I open them and they dont say on the back.

Cheers

Playing devil's advocate here but the initial post is a fairly simple question. I, like everyone else seemingly on here don't and won't use the big shed sealers so couldn't give an educated answer. My answer if asked "do you know which are impregnating?" would be a simple no I don't. The op in fairness never asked for alternative sealers or which is better.






















(My favourites are Lithofin and DryTreat, occasionally use LTP but ssshhh, don't want to upset anyone!)
