FAQs
How long does the sealer last?
The lifespan of the sealer depends on factors such as weather exposure and foot traffic, but typically lasts for several months to a year. Reapplication is recommended when water no longer beads on the surface.
Can I use this sealer on other types of stone?
While the sealer is suitable for Indian sandstone, sandstone, Yorkstone, and Limestone, it is best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first if using it on other types of stone.
How do I clean the surface after sealing?
Regularly sweep or rinse the patio with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Mild soap and water can be used for more thorough cleaning.
How much sealer do I need?
Coverage varies based on the porosity of the stone. Always refer to the product label for specific coverage rates and instructions.
Is the sealer slippery when wet?
The sealer itself is not designed to make surfaces slippery, but always exercise caution, especially on areas prone to standing water or when wearing shoes with smooth soles.
Can I apply the sealer in any weather?
Apply the sealer in dry weather conditions, with temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is expected.
What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
Always wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the fumes. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Troubleshooting
Sealer not repelling water effectively
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Reapply the sealer, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly.
