How to seal Sandstone

Silcopel

Natural Look/No Sheen Repels Water - Vertical (1-2 coats)

Consolidate

Natural Look/No Sheen Repels Water - Horizontal (1-2 coats)

Aquacryl

Natural Look/Sheen Coating - gloss or matt (2-3 coats)

Pavacryl

Wet Look/Sheen Coating - gloss or matt (2-3 coats)

Initial Cleaning

• Once the new tiles are laid and grouted it is important to remove all grout and cement residues. This should be done with D-Scale.
• Existing sandstone should be cleaned with D-Grease. A concentrated D-Grease solution will remove most problem stains.
• A special floor-washing machine with liquid suction will produce best results.
• Ensure floors are rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
   

Sealing

• All of the above sealers can be re-sealed without stripping, if the previous sealer is in sound condition.
• Sealers can be applied with a clean cloth, brush or lambswood applicator.
• Ventilate well.
• Do not allow excess Silcopel or Pristine to dry on the surface.
   

Maintenance

We recommend cleaning with warm water and a small amount of a neutral cleaner such as Natural Clean.

Always Test

• Because every type of tile/paver is different we recommend that a small test area is done to ensure that the appearance and protection is satisfactory.
• Allow sealers at least 24 hours to cure before testing.
