Product Information

Full details

This Smartseal Natural Stone Sealer is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking to protect and enhance natural stone surfaces like sandstone, limestone, granite, and slate. Its key benefit is providing a durable, waterproof barrier that resists algae, lichen, and staining, while also enhancing the stone's natural appearance with a colour-enhancing finish. A potential caveat is that coverage can vary depending on the porosity of the stone.

FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The sealer provides durable protection for up to five years, depending on the stone type and environmental exposure.

Can I use this on concrete?

This sealer is formulated for natural porous stones. For concrete, a dedicated concrete sealer from Smartseal would be more appropriate.

How much area does one 5L container cover?

Coverage varies by stone type. Expect approximately 5-10m² per litre for the first coat. A 5L container can cover 25-50m² for a single coat.

Is the finish glossy or matt?

The sealer provides a natural, colour-enhancing finish. It is not designed to be glossy and aims to preserve the stone's natural appearance.

Can I apply this in cold weather?

It is best to apply when temperatures are between 5°C and 25°C. Avoid application during frost or in very humid conditions.

How do I clean a sealed stone surface?

Clean regularly with water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the seal.

What should I do if I get sealer on unwanted surfaces?

Wipe away any spills or drips immediately with a damp cloth before the sealer dries. If it has dried, you may need a specialist remover.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy appearance

Ensure the sealer was applied evenly and that no excess product was left to dry on the surface. Reapply a thin, even coat if necessary after cleaning.

Sealer not penetrating the stone

The stone may be too dense or already sealed. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. If the stone is non-porous, the sealer may not be suitable.

White or cloudy residue after drying

This can occur if the sealer was applied too thickly or in damp conditions. Try to gently clean the area with a mild detergent and water, or a specialist stone sealer remover if necessary.

Water beading is not evident after application

This could indicate insufficient product applied or that the sealer has not fully cured. Allow more drying time or apply a second coat, ensuring even coverage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the natural beauty of stone.
  • Provides robust protection against water, stains, and biological growth.
  • Solvent-free for a safer working environment.
  • Quick drying time minimizes disruption.
  • Offers long-term protection (up to 5 years).

Cons

  • Coverage rate can vary significantly based on stone porosity.
  • A second coat may be necessary for optimal results.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for maximum effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for optimal performance:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the stone is completely clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and existing sealers. Use a dedicated stone cleaner if necessary and allow ample drying time.
  2. Test Application: Apply a small test patch to an inconspicuous area to ensure the desired finish and check compatibility with the stone type.
  3. Application: Apply the sealer using a brush, roller, or sprayer. Work in manageable sections.
  4. First Coat: Apply a liberal, even coat. Avoid ponding. Allow to penetrate.
  5. Second Coat (Optional): For enhanced colour and protection, apply a second light coat once the first coat is touch-dry (typically 1-2 hours, depending on conditions). Ensure this coat is also applied evenly and without ponding.
  6. Drying: The surface will be dry to touch within 1-2 hours and can typically be walked on after 24 hours. Full curing may take longer.

Compatibility: Suitable for most natural porous stones including sandstone, limestone, granite, slate, and York stone. Avoid using on highly polished surfaces or stones that are not breathable unless specifically tested.

Care: Once sealed, the surface is easier to clean. Use water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or acid-based products.
