Terracotta / Sandstone
Slate, terracotta and sandstone tiles are now finding widespread use commercially, domestically and industrially. They are a beautiful feature and need special treatment to ensure their condition is maintained. It is important to seal these tiles in order to:
-
Highlight the texture and natural colour of these materials.
-
Protect the surface against wear and staining by food, soils and greases.
-
Highlight the texture and natural colour of these materials.
-
Facilitate cleaning of the tiles by providing an impervious layer for dirt.
