FAQs

Can I use STONEPLUS on engineered stone or quartz?

STONEPLUS is specifically formulated for natural stone. It is not recommended for use on engineered stone or quartz surfaces, as these materials have different compositions and sealing requirements.

Will STONEPLUS change the look of my stone?

STONEPLUS is designed to enhance the natural color of the stone, making it appear richer and deeper. It provides a matte finish, meaning it will not make the stone look glossy or wet.

How long does the protection last?

The longevity of the protection depends on factors like surface wear, traffic, and cleaning methods. Typically, the protection can last for several years. Periodic reapplication may be needed, especially in high-traffic or heavily used areas.

Is STONEPLUS safe for food preparation surfaces?

Yes, once cured, STONEPLUS is safe for use on food preparation surfaces like kitchen countertops. It helps protect against common food-related stains.

Can I apply STONEPLUS over an existing sealer?

No, it is not recommended to apply STONEPLUS over an existing sealer. The surface should be completely clean and free of any previous treatments for STONEPLUS to penetrate and perform effectively.

What is the coverage rate of STONEPLUS?

STONEPLUS offers high coverage, with approximately 405 sq. ft. per liter, depending on the porosity of the stone and the application method.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color enhancement or streaking

This can occur if the product was not applied evenly or if excess was not removed properly. Ensure consistent application and remove all residue before it dries. For existing issues, the surface may need to be treated with a specific remover and reapplied.

Product does not seem to be repelling water

Verify that the stone was completely dry before application and that the product was allowed sufficient time to penetrate and cure. If the product has been recently applied, allow more time for full curing. Reapplication may be necessary if the sealer has degraded.

Surface feels sticky or tacky after application

Excess product was likely left on the surface and did not fully penetrate or was not wiped off completely. Try to gently buff the area with a clean cloth. If the tackiness persists, a specific stone cleaner might be needed to remove the residue, followed by reapplication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the natural beauty and color of stone.
  • Provides robust waterproofing and oil stain protection.
  • Maintains a natural, matte finish without altering stone texture.
  • Suitable for a wide range of natural stone types.
  • Effective for both interior and exterior applications.
  • Reduces long-term maintenance by preventing dirt absorption.

Cons

  • Color enhancement may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal performance.
  • Not a film-forming product, so it doesn't provide physical abrasion resistance.
  • Application needs to be consistent to avoid uneven color deepening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: STONEPLUS is designed for use on a variety of natural stones including granite, slate, marble, limestone, and travertine. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results.

Setup & Application:

  1. Ensure the stone surface is clean, completely dry, and free from any previous treatments or waxes.
  2. Apply the product using a brush, cloth, or sponge evenly over the surface.
  3. Allow the product to penetrate for the recommended time (refer to product label for specific duration).
  4. Remove any excess product that has not been absorbed before it dries.
  5. Allow the surface to cure fully before use.

Care: Clean treated surfaces with neutral pH cleaners. Avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaning products, as these can damage the stone and the sealer over time. Reapplication may be necessary after several years, depending on traffic and cleaning frequency.
