Question:
I want my slate floor to be sealed with a wet look because i like it when it’s wet and looks darker??

Answer:
Then you will need to apply a gloss or satin sealer, there are 2 on the market that will do the job.

Lithofin Slate Seal
Probably the best on the market today, used by 75% of all UK installers

Or

LTP Ironwax Satin
Does just as good a job but takes a little longer to dry

If you have applied a slate sealer already then it would be advisable to find out what it was and consult the makers of the above sealers to see if they advise to apply straight on top or to remove the sealer already applied & re-seal with the gloss sealer, it is always best practice to do a test area before just diving straight in & causing problems.
