FAQ
How do I choose the correct sealer?
Choosing the correct sealer is often a personal choice based on a combination of aesthetics and functionality. In most cases only a few options are available for each type of floor or tile type based on the surface porosity. In the case of polished marble only a repellent like Stoneshield Marble & Granite Sealer should be used as all resin-based sealers will leave a plastic surface layer affecting the marble’s appearance. Consult the sealer selection chart for the correct options.
What is the difference between a sealer and a repellent or impregnator?
Generally repellents are liquid silicone, silane or siloxane type products. (Scotch-Guard for stone). They penetrate completely with no visible change or surface film. Repellents are generally the only option for polished, low porosity surfaces like porcelain, marble, limestone and granite. Nearly all wall cladding is sealed using water or solvent based repellents. Repellents are very effective against water ingress on exterior bricks, stone and cladding. (Stoneshield Wall-Cladding-Sealer ). Repellants are less effective on horizontal surfaces like floors, due to there capabilities. Repellents offer stain resistance but no surface protection against wear & tear. The advantage of repellents is that they cannot “peel” and are not affected by negative water pressure. Sealers are resin based systems that dry forming a “skin”. These types of sealers offer effective results for both stain resistance, aesthetic improvement and surface protection. Sealers are normally selected where surface protection is required (Stoneshield Quarri-Seal®, Stoneshield Cement-Sealer™) as in the case of slate or oxided cement, where the surface is soft and the colour is often walked off. These types of sealer offer a combination of surface penetration and surface build depending on how many coats are applied. Where ease of cleaning is a factor in the case of natural sandstone, ( here the surface is textured ) a resin type sealer helps to cover the texture making cleaning easier. ( Stoneshield Paving-Sealer )
Why do resin type sealers peel?
In most cases a resin based sealer peels when a combination of moisture from below is forced to the surface by direct sunlight or surface heat too quickly causing the sealer to peel through water pressure. Sealers do not peel naturally, there has to be pressure from below or from behind the sealer to cause the sealer to peel. Peeling sealers will always look like dry, flaking skin. This is because the sealer has de-bonded from the surface. The moisture or water pressure generally occurs for the following reasons – 1. Insufficient time was allowed for the floor or wall surface to dry out prior to sealing. a. Either the floor or wall had too much moisture from the initial installation prior to sealing. b. Insufficient time allowed between washing and sealing. 2. Water or moisture is penetrating the surface from above or below. a. This can be moisture from rising damp caused by the lack of DPC ( plastic water proofing membrane under the concrete slab ) b. Water penetrating through cracked grouting. This is very common. c. Water entering the slab or wall from poor waterproofing along junctions or parapets.
Do you install floors?
No, we used to do installations but now we only supply the equipment required to install a floor correctly. We also offer advice on what you require and why you require it.
Can I buy in bulk?
Yes, we supply to retail and wholesale customers, so we don't have a minimum order quantity but, bulk purchases do come with discount.
