LTP MATTSTONE Sealer - Impregnating Stone Sealer (1 LITRE)

Product Information

Apply generously and evenly using a paint brush or sponge. On highly absorbent surfaces apply further coats at hourly intervals until the surface is fully saturated. After 1 hour remove any excess sealer with an absorbent towel. It is safe for use on any type of grout and can be used both indoors and outdoors. This spray is great for repelling water, food stains, grease, mould, mildew, and more. One of the best things about this product though is that it is completely colourless and protects the natural colour of the grout, rather than altering it like some other grout sealing products. Key Features Shake bottle before use. Apply LTP Mattstone H20 generously and evenly using a lint free cloth, lamb’s wool applicator, paint pad or sponge.

Remove any residual sealer after 1 hour by rubbing with a dry microfibre cloth. On vertical surfaces apply from the bottom up. The most important factor in achieving a good finish is to use a tiler with proven experience of laying and sealing terracotta tiles, as the wrong application of adhesive, sealers, grout and finishing products can ruin these beautiful tiles, costing you time and money. Either before the tiles are laid, or before grouting the tiles, the tiles must be sealed with at least 2 coats of LTP Mattstone and 2 coats of the finishing product Ironwax Satin/Gloss. To ensure a good seal, apply the LTP Mattstone at 2-hour intervals until the sealer starts to sit on the surface. After the final coat of Mattstone, allow 45 minutes and then buff away any excess.Terracotta has been used for hundreds of years as floors in the UK. The Romans had the art of heating rooms through the use of warmed terracotta down to a fine art. Fashions come and go as do the associated production skills. Whether the Romans left Britain or the Britain’s moved away from Roman power is still debated, either way over the next hundred years the use of Terracotta disappeared. LTP Mattstone is a natural, matt finish impregnating sealer that will delicately enhance the colour and texture of all natural stone and porcelain tiles.
