Saltillo Tile
Saltillo Tile
SALTILLO TILE: Saltillo tile is a clay and comes in sealed and unsealed forms. Both should be sealed. Why apply topcoat sealer if the tile is already sealed? Sealer provides the final cosmetic coat across the floor (i.e., a gloss or satin finish). Functionally, it’s critical to reduce ongoing maintenance of Saltillo tile floors. Sealer adds scratch resistance, UV protection, and extra water resistance, and it seals the grout Additionally, the final coat of sealer removes scuffs that occur to the sealer during the grouting, handling, and shipping process.
Considerations for choosing a sealer: For unsealed tile, a penetrating sealer should be used. A film forming sealer and be applied over a penetrating sealer if a wet look is desired. For pre-sealed tile a film forming sealer should be used.
Coverage, Number of Coats: A penetrating sealer should get 200 sq ft per gallon, two saturation coats should be applied. A film forming sealer will get 150 – 200 sq ft per gallon; only one coat is normally required.
