Lithofin MN Slate Seal 1 Litre

Really easy to use, the cleaning off the old tiles was the worst part. Went on easily, touch dry in 2 hours I didn’t walk on it for 4 hours the finish was really good.The smell was strong and chemical but it went off after a couple of days.

As other users have said there is an odour but it only lasts a day as it dries. When it has dried as my photo shows there is a sheen to it, not Matt or gloss, just a nice satin finish, it seals the slate so water doesn’t penetrate, easy to apply by foam roller. I’m very pleased with it.

Excellent product brought my Chinese slate up like new

Just bought the 2nd can of this sealant. My old slate floor looks like new now after two coats. Very easy to apply and quick drying

Bought to seal a slate floor in basement. Did a bit of research as didn't want to put something down that would look rubbish.Had cloudy looking slate.After mopping until water clean coming up I applied with a 2 inch brush in a thin coat. I went over with a short pile roller as was worried about brush marks. Touch dry in a couple of hours. Recoated after 24 hours and looks great. Floor has a low sheen like its drying from a mop but not quite as shiny. Very clean now not dusty.It is solvent based so has a smell to it but I left extractor fan on overnight and had pretty much cleared by morning. 48 hours later no smell.

I first used this about 6 years ago when we were having our bathroom re-modelled with black Chinese Slate tiles.The slate tiles are naturally porous and so need sealing.It took 2 or 3 applications to fully seal the tiles and they repelled water for 5 years or so.Not only does the product seal the tiles but brings out their natural colour with a low gloss sheen.This purchase was made to re-seal the tiles after 6 years of exposure in a shower cubicle. The textured tiles had started to hold limescale and were not so water repellant. I couldn't find it any more from my local tile stockist, and so once again, Amazon came to the rescue - with free postage too!After re-sealing, the tiles are back to their former glory.This product is best applied with a small foam roller but it can run and cause run marks or tears. Be sure to roll over your work or apply sparingly. The fumes are pretty bad, so use in a well ventilated room.Be warned it can damage some plastics, so wipe up ansy spills on your bath or shower tray immediately.I would recommed Lithofin's other products for maintenenace of tiled surfaces i.e Cement Away, Wexa and Easy Clean - they are quality German products and give the results required.

This product is very good for sealing floor and shower tiles. One thing I would advise is to wear a mask and use it in dry weather so you open the windows & doors because it's very smelly

I purchased this product after reading reviews on it. I've got to say I'm very impressed with it. It was easy to apply a little went a long way. It has given my slate floor tiles a new lease of life, they look great. The smell is quite strong but bearable when the doors and windows were open. Didn't take too long to dry could walk on it after a few hours. highly recommend this product does what it says on the tin.
