Impregnating, colour enhancing, consolidating and wet look sealers from STAIN PROOF, Chemforce and Environex for natural stone, tile, grout, pavers and concrete, plus cleaners and removers.
Natural look
Impregnating sealers soak into the pores, so stone, tile and grout keep their natural colour and finish.
Enhance
Colour enhancing sealers bring out the tone of natural stone, terracotta, brick and concrete while repelling water and oil.
Consolidate
STAIN PROOF 40SK Consolidator and Chemforce Fortifier Plus help protect porous stone and masonry from water and salt damage.
Prepare
Efflorescence removers, oxygen and peroxide cleaners and graffiti removers get surfaces ready for sealing.
A sealer is a liquid applied to porous stone, tile, grout, pavers or concrete to limit how much water, oil and spills soak in. That makes stains less likely and cleaning easier, though no sealer stops every stain, so the choice depends on the material, the finish you want and where the surface is.
Impregnating sealers, also called penetrating sealers, soak into the pores and leave the surface looking natural. STAIN PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer, STAIN PROOF Waterbased Penetrating Sealer, STAIN PROOF Waterborne Dense Stone Sealer, Chemforce Stain Protector and Environex Tuscan TSL work this way. Colour enhancing sealers, such as STAIN PROOF Colour Enhancing Sealer and Chemforce Enhance Plus, also soak in but deepen the tone of the stone. Consolidators such as STAIN PROOF 40SK Consolidator and Chemforce Fortifier Plus strengthen soft or crumbly material as well as repelling water.
Environex Sealers adds Premium Bluestone, Endure, Synergy and Hi-Lite, and Concrete and Paving Sealers covers Auseal Curite Concrete Sealer. Cleaners and removers include Chemforce Oxitec-M Natural Stone Cleaner, Chemforce TED Efflorescence Remover, Chemforce GR2 Graffiti Remover and STAIN PROOF SMC Peroxide Cleaner, with Environex Graffiti Shield F for graffiti protection.
Common Questions
Both soak into the surface instead of forming a coating on top. An impregnating sealer keeps the natural colour and finish, while a colour enhancing sealer also darkens and enriches the tone. Dry-Treat notes that neither alters wet slip resistance the way a topical coating can, and that topical coatings wear and must be stripped before recoating. Test on a spare piece to see the colour.
Wait for the grout to cure. Dry-Treat advises at least 3 days for grout before sealing, and for Endure, Environex advises letting newly laid pavers or stone dry for about 14 days. Some sealers can also go on before grouting: STAIN PROOF Waterbased Penetrating Sealer works as a pre-sealer and grout release, with grouting at least 2 hours later.
Longer than it takes to dry. Chemforce Stain Protector needs a 24 hour cure before testing. Dry-Treat says its STAIN PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer takes over 7 days to fully cure, and recommends allowing 4 weeks before testing its Colour Enhancing Sealer. Keep spills and heavy cleaning off the surface until the cure time on the data sheet has passed.
Dry-Treat says glazed ceramic and polished porcelain can be sealed, and that its impregnating sealer works well on polished porcelain, where polishing opens up microscopic pores. On glazed tiles, the cement grout between them is usually the part that takes up stains. Porous natural stone, terracotta, pavers and concrete are the most common surfaces to seal. Test on a spare tile first.
Environex Premium Bluestone Sealer is a natural penetrating sealer developed for bluestone and other natural stone and masonry, for internal or external use, and it keeps the stone’s natural colour and texture. If you would like the stone darker, a colour enhancing sealer is the alternative. For soft or salt affected stone, ask us about a consolidator first.
