Installing 12" slate tiles in bathroom and tub surround.
Where do they sell a satin gloss sealer?
What's the best brand of sealer?

I like Custom. Go to Julian over by Silver Dollar. I think Euro will sell to the public too and I know they used to carry it.

Been reading online and there seems to be a ton of different products. Any brands better than others?
Should I be asking for 2 types. One for in shower stall and another for high traffic area (mudroom floor)?

I've been using Aqua-mix products from Rona. This particular one I've painted on both the shower stall and floors with no issues (min. 3 coats each time). I believe the recommendation is to re-apply yearly.

They're all good. AquaMix, Tilelab, etc are basically the same shit, different pile. I use Tilelab's "Gloss sealer" only because I like a bit of a shine. There's the "Matte finish" as well.
You don't need a different one for the shower area.
Oh, and just an FYI....Any "sealer" is not to make the grout/tile "waterproof". It's not like you need to do it every year for "waterproofing"...it's strictly a cosmetic issue.

Good info thanks.
I've read there are 2 types of sealers, ones the penetrate the rock and ones that stay on top. Like paint vs stain.
Which kind is better?
