Hey all,
I've looked high and low, so my apologies if this has already been addressed.
I was just hired to build a little brewery in Montana. The owners want tile in the brewhouse and cellar. I want to use American Olean quarry tile, as recommended on this forum.
You all have made clear that quarry tile is the best. My contractor is arguing with me because he thinks it is too porous and wants to go with glazed porcelain, which I think is too thin and slippery.
For those of you who have used quarry tile, how is it doing? Did you seal it with anything? I know it will need epoxy grout, but is there a product (penetrating sealer?) that will stand up to brewery chemicals?
Thanks, folks.
Cheers,
Mike
