FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The protection offered by Smartseal Stone Sealer can last for up to five years, depending on the type of stone, its exposure to the elements, and the frequency of cleaning.

Can I use this on exterior stone surfaces?

Yes, this sealer is suitable for use on both interior and exterior natural stone surfaces, providing protection against water and stains.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage varies depending on the porosity and type of stone. Guidelines for first and second coat applications are typically provided on the product packaging or technical data sheet.

Do I need to apply multiple coats?

A second coat is often recommended for certain stone types to ensure adequate protection and colour enhancement. Always follow the specific application instructions for your stone.

How do I clean the stone after it has been sealed?

After sealing, clean the stone with a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this product suitable for newly laid stone?

Yes, it can be applied to newly laid stone, provided it is clean, dry, and has fully cured according to installation guidelines.

What should I do if I accidentally spill the sealer on an area I didn't intend to seal?

If the sealer is still wet, wipe it away immediately with a cloth. If it has started to dry, you may need to use a specific cleaning solvent recommended by Smartseal for removal.

Troubleshooting

Sealer appears uneven or blotchy after application

This can happen if excess sealer was not properly removed or if applied unevenly. Wipe down the affected area with a suitable solvent (as recommended by the manufacturer) and reapply carefully, ensuring all excess is removed.

Water is still penetrating the stone after sealing

Ensure the stone was fully dry before application and that sufficient coats were applied according to the stone's porosity. For very porous stones, a third coat might be necessary. Reapplication may be needed if the sealer has degraded.

Product does not seem to be enhancing the colour as expected

The degree of colour enhancement varies by stone type. Ensure the stone is clean and dry. Allow the sealer to fully cure (up to 72 hours) as the full effect may not be immediately apparent. Test in a small, hidden area first if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This product is suitable for use on most natural stone surfaces including, but not limited to, sandstone, granite, limestone, and slate. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results and compatibility.

Preparation: Ensure the stone surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like dirt, grease, or existing sealers. For best results, allow the surface to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours after cleaning.

Application: Apply the sealer using a brush, roller, or sprayer. Work in manageable sections. For the first coat, apply generously until the stone is saturated but not pooling. Allow this to soak in for the recommended time (refer to product documentation for specific timings) before wiping off any excess. A second coat may be applied if recommended for the specific stone type, following the same procedure but with potentially less product to avoid over-saturation.

Care: After application and curing, surfaces treated with Smartseal Stone Sealer are easier to clean. Use a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft brush or cloth for routine maintenance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the sealer.
