when best to seal travertine tiles

[wall2floortilin]

just remember that certain prducts requiree buffing after 20mins before it is completely absorbed, between each coat .happy tiling and yes back buttering is a must!!!

if you are using grouts of similar colour you will NOT get (bleeding) it will only occur if using colurs that dont compliment trav, try granfix maxi lime stone, its the closest you will get, better match than mapei jasmine. happy tiling

Rarely will travertine picture frame with moisture.....

Just to add it is not always the grout colour that bleeds into a stone it is moisture from slower setting grouts seeping under the surface after sealing before grouting and preventing the moisture escaping.

so using polimer modified grouts such as maxi from granfix will prevent this from happening giving you a finish to be proud of. happy tiling:hurray:

quicker than mapei, top grouts though they seem to have an urgent problem with there bucket adhesive, (multi fix) its to dry in the bucket, we are finding that its just not wet enough, we are having it tested, we have also switched to keraquick as there seems to be an issue with there marblfix also.think it needs taking back to formula. many adistions to original seems to be affecting the product.

Love Ardex adhesives but talk about slower-setting grouts....don't use anymore too slow.
As Dave says if use a mapei and make sure all moisture out of tile before sealing shouldn't stain, eh? Mind you maybe the mapei jasmine not the best colour match...
