What to use to enhance color and seal split face tile

10 years ago

Bill VIncent: Please help me find a product to enhance the color of my split face tile and seal the tile from stains. It is being used as a kitchen backsplash. I really want to bring out the beautiful colors that are somewhat masked by a white film but look great when wet. Thank you

The tiles have been cut in half so they are rough. They are a travertine tile split in half. I want to know what product to use

I have had good luck with Miracle 511 products. This one would be appropriate for your use. I would definitely test on sample tiles before proceeding with your final project.
