Travertine sealer

[Aspect Tiling]

Currently mid way through a filled and honed travertine bathroom job. Initially planned on sealing with mattstone. However the customer now likes the wet/polished look. I've advised against a polished sealer and suggested a colour enhancing one.
Anyone got any good suggestions on their preferred product for the job?
Thanks
Pete

The only polished/wet look sealer i have used on travertine was Aquamix...it did the job but didnt like the finish myself.

i normally use ltp colour enhancer. it's not a wet look finish but between a matt and gloss finish so keeps the natural look of the stone and brings the colours out really well.

I would not be using a topical sealer in a wet area.. ( Assuming floor is to do as well)...

Lithofin products are the only way to go. Expect to pay £35/L trade. They will sort you with any non-gloss or gloss finish you require. CTD or Tiles UK are stockists.<br>I've tried and tested HG and LTP against Lithofin, and there is no competition. Lithofin MN Stainstop (for all natural stone) is a potent liquid which will get you high, but it's like anything in life, if you pay for the best, you'll get it. Lithofin doesn't need a repeat application for between 3 and 7 years. It's very potent but is the business. Try it and never go back!

Explain the 3 to 7 yrs. ?

So how would such a difference work

Obviously, it's dependant on foot-fall. Have you ever lacquered a hardwood floor? Wear-and-tear my friend.

Hey Dave. I'm about to seal your fate here....

 

[DHTiling]

I was asking about the stainstop , not a topical sealer.
So why the insults little man. ?

Troll alert !!!!!!!!!

You clearly think you know a lot but the more advice you give the more you reveal yourself to be lacking in basic knowledge even about stainstop.call bob at casdron enterprises who is their tech expert and hw will tell you what's what as you clearly woulnt want to listen from some people on here that I know have good knowledge of sealers.

Which website are you looking at????:huh2:

 

[True Tiling]

Yeah, sorry about that. Bad idea from me. Apologies. I think the solvent has damaged my brain! Sorry again mate. I can be a massive pain at times on this site and get all know-it-all. Watch out!

 

[Dan]

At least you're sorry mate. We normally just never hear from 'them' again after a stint like that.

[True Tiling]

I'm back! It is "them". Tis I.
