I am in Honduras and the clay tiles for flooring here are cheap and beautiful, but very porous. Wife wants a wet look? Will this product work?

I think it will seal and darken the color if you apply at least 2 coats, I put on 3 coats and the water puddles up the pacers

I don't think it will give the wet look like you want. That's the look I wanted and despite putting 3 coats of the Black Diamond on my flagstone, it doesn't have a wet look. It's slightly darker that it was prior to the application, but definitely not a wet look.

I only used these tiles to cover a small table top. I would think they would be very slippery when wet. Coveri g old tiles? I don't think that would work.

Try dampening the tile just a little. This might not work. Tile is very porous.

I would think not. It doesn't like wet things. It won't pick up fine dirt completely so sand is probably the same. You could try it if you get a return guarantee.

Yes, it should. Just make sure your sponge applicator isn't too wet. You need the clay applied almost full "strength" to do its job on hard water.

make sure surface is completely dry, I used a cotton rag, about an hour to dry, put a droplet of water on tile, if stands up it is ready, some areas may need 2 coats, i onlu used one coat, hence i have these left over, regards jane harper

No, the pad rests flat on the floor and if used as you described it would not allow your tiles to dry thoroughly. Otherwise it is a great easy to use product in my opinion. Hope this helps you decide.

I would say yes. The floor should have a non porous surface. I would not recommend using on an open grain wood floor such as an unfinished oak floor. I highly recommend this product! It lasts a long time. Two to three coats seems to give the best results. Make your final coat as thin as you can get it. Good Luck!!

I wouldn't. there is a mixture that is sold at most tile stores specifically for that. it forms a water proof membrane behind tile.

It works on concrete floor that was stained/painted. Have not tried it on totally porous concrete.

Hello-You can certainly seal your tiles with our 511 Porous Plus. But they would only require sealing if they are a porous material. If they absorb/darken when water is applied to the tiles then it would be a good idea to seal them. If they do not absorb water then you should not have to seal them.Thank YouMSCtechnical Support Team

Living in the Northeast, I have had no experience with clay roofs or tiles. Someone living in the West would be a better person to ask. I would also suggest that you also call the Mfg Customer Service Dept. Wish I could be more helpful.

I would think so. We used it on travertine in our bathroom and it worked fine. We put on 1 layer and will reapply after 1 year to maintain the protection. So far we have been very happy with the results.

I do not have tile floors, but I did take it over to a relatives house. She wanted to try it out. It seemed to do a good job on her tile floors but it was just a one time thing. Hopefully you can get an answer from someone who deals with them in their home.

If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect. The Swiffer was too small. The industrial ones were $300. Too much. This one is perfect. I use it almost every single day. It is great. I bet you will love it. But, if your floors have anything that could catch the mop, it will not be worth it. It is natural cotton, and would catch on splinters. They suggest that it be washed with natural soap. I am planning on using Dr. Bonners. The mop also has two settings for themop head. Proba ly more than you want to know! It picks up everything. If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect.

I would almost certainly say "No", since it microetches the substrate. I have worked with clay, specifically porcelain, for over sixteen years, and have found that surface treatment is permanent. The product is great and worthwhile in application.

If it's not applied evenly it did make grout darker where the excess was applied. I wouldn't call it a "wet look" though. Invest in a good applicator.
