Which stone sealer do you use

Do you find one better than the other

LTP Mattstone for me usually. Had some Fila stuff supplied on a job recently, that seemed like good stuff

LTP mattstone or LTP colour intensifier for travertine & limestone. LTP ironwax satin for slate mostly. LTP mpg for polished porcelain.

How come so many people use ltp matt stone sealer .
is it because it is cheap or maybe I'm missing something.
from the smell of it ltp make this for a few other companies under other labels.
I guess it's probably ok on travertine which does need much sealing at all but for French limestone say for porous limestones it does not seal very well in my experience and changes the colour of stone.

Probably because travertine has to be the most popular stone available in most stores so its the most used stone. I have used LTP for a few years but my stockist changed brands so did I.

Sorry to jump in to this so late but have only just joined the forums today 🙂

Depending on the project budget and porosity of the stone we use Akemi Stain Repellent, Akemi Stain Repellent Super, Akemi Stain Repellent Nano Effect or for cheaper stones Akemi Stain Repellent (Water Based).

I used the trimline stuff the other day 6 coats of this is equivalent to 1 coat of lithofin stain stop I wasnt impressed and it is not that cheap either I wont be using it again

Been using LTP Colour to lntensifier mostly because I got 10l for £50 about a year ago. :hurray:

Been impressed with Universeal Rapid. Of course it's hard to judge as most tilers probably just rate a sealer on ease of use rather than knowing the long term benefits.

I use Lithofin or fila both are good

Fila for me John
