Sealing means applying an impregnator to a clean, dry floor to close the pores, so dirt, water and calima run off instead of soaking in.
When it's worth it
- On the coast, to slow salt penetration.
- In damp highlands, to delay algae regrowth.
- In garages, warehouses and kitchens, to keep oil out.
- On stamped concrete, to restore colour and shine.
- On porous stone, using breathable products.
Types
- Aesthetic: enhances colour with basic protection.
- Standard: solid protection against water and stains for homes.
- Premium: maximum durability and resistance to grease, oil and chemicals.
The floor must be clean and dry
Sealing over dirt traps it under the protective layer. That's why sealing always follows a technical clean.
FAQ
How soon can I walk on a sealed floor?
You can walk on it lightly within hours, but wait about 24 hours before moving furniture back.
How long does sealing last?
It depends on the product, sun and use. When water stops beading on the floor, it's time to renew it.
