re-posting --- Some Help Please ??

[vcheng]

Hi Everyone,

I posted a few days ago and have not heard from anyone. Our installer is scheduled to do sealing and enhancing in 2 days --- and the floor is still much more "dull" than we expected or feel it should be.

Is there anything else we can do other than just hand sanding???

The whole look is very much more rustic than any samples we've seen. I was at the tile store today and their demo area is much brighter then our floor.

1. Will the sealant and enhancer REALLY brighten up tumbled honed travertine that much?

2. Will they brighten the grout?

3. After enhancing (or before??) is it advisable or NOT advisable to try using a hand polisher (like a buffing attachment to a power drill)??

Thanks a million for any help and advice!

-V.

For tumbled stone an enhancer is the key to making a beautiful looking job.But you need a good enhancer,a clean floor, and a full application.It won't enhance the grout per say, but might darken it.I would use Aqua mix,or stone tech,with the Aqua mix enhancing a little darker.Try it on a piece or two...or just use a wet sponge on a piece of the tile..that will show you what it will look like when it's enhanced.
