Hi, my first time on here so I hope someone can help. Old farm house in 85. Livingroom floor tiles terracotta, some are losing their surface and going all crumbly. I need something to seal them with. Any suggestions? Product sourced in UK or france.
Thanks in anticipation

I guess that there are may be specialised products in france, but I'd say just feed them the old-fashioned way - give them a nice dose of linseed oil (let a generous application soak in) and then polish in a couple of good layers of heavy duty wax floor polish applied a couple of days apart.

A tiler incidentally gave me a great tip for polishing terracotta tiles - buy a car bodywork polisher from Halfords or the equivalent... works a treat!

Best of luck,
Carly
