Product Reviews
By Steven Aldridge Steven Aldridge

First time using SmartSeal & this natural stone sealer. Found the descriptions & videos helpful in selecting the correct product and applying. Also sent in a query & had a very helpful telephone reply. Application went as per instructions & after the first rain a few days later the water beaded on the surface of the patio. Pleased with the result, patio looks good, I'll have to wait until next spring to find out how truly effective the sealant is over time.

By Simon Escott

Very good product. As mentioned by others you have to make sure you clear of excess and this takes effort. Now real test as winter approaches. In hindsight personally maybe should have gone for colour enhancer or wet look sealer to show off effort of looking after stone!

By Alfred Blair-Smart

The contractor who laid out the back garden left it to me to seal the sandstone and I am glad that I found Smartseal. It effectively seals and enhances the stone without any discolouration when finally dry. An excellent product which I can thoroughly recommend.

Technical

PREPARATIONDue to the effects of Efflorescence and Natural Salts and Minerals, that can permeate through Natural Stone, it is recommended not to seal for a minimum 4 months after installation.

Pre treat surface with appropriate cleaning product. If required, fully clean off using a pressure washer and leave to dry thoroughly for at least 3 days. In order to apply sandstone or natural stone sealer, the area must be clean, dry and free from contamination

Always test product on-site, in an inconspicuous area, to ensure you fully are satisfied with the final appearance/ colour of the surface.

**If applied to a surface where a "sweep-in" pointing compound has been used within the last 6 months, the natural stone must be fully cleaned with Smartseal Residue Remover prior to sealant application.**

APPLICATION NOTE: Application on vertical surfaces should be to full saturation commencing at the bottom and working upwards. Do not apply in damp conditions and only apply to dry surfaces in temperatures above 13°C and no higher than 23°C. It is very important to make sure no rain is forecast for at least 8 hours after application. 

Depending on the stone/surface, more than one coat may be required. For most porous stones, a 2nd lighter coat can be applied once touch dry (slightly wet). If over application does occur on either coats, excess sealer can be removed with a dry roller or sponge. Ensure this is done within 45 minutes.

  1. Shake container well before use
  2. Ensure that surface area is completely clean from dirt & grime.
  3. Allow surface area to dry, will take 3 dry days depending on the weather.
  4. Apply 1st coat to saturation by roller, sprayer or brush.
  5. Apply 2nd lighter 'mist' coat (approx 45 minutes after 1st coat if suitable).
  6. If over application does occur, please remove excess sealer with a dry sponge or cloth.
  7. Avoid walking on surface 4 hours after application and 48 hours for heavy traffic.

All equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.

SHELF LIFE: Store away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Protect from frost.
12 months shelf life (in original sealed container). Once opened use within 3 months.

Product FAQs

Q: I am looking for a sealer that is flame proof so suitable to be around fire. Which would you recommend?

Lauren

A: Once fully cured the natural stone sealer dry finish will not be affected by heat

Response from Nick

Q: I have an Indian stone hearth that has never been sealed (10 years since installed) - it still has patches of white “salt? “ coming through. Will your sealer cover up the salt stains? If so, which sealer do you recommend?

Barbara Bolton

A: We would suggest trying a sample of our Natural Stone 'Wet Look' Sealer. Hope that helps.

Response from George

Q: Old stone walled cottage with some exposed stone on internal two sides of the main room - built into a bank up to ground floor ceiling level. Wall of course feels cold to the touch but no overt dampness - although damp meter readings high. Most of mortaring appears to be concrete rather than lime plaster. Main problem is the musty smell emanating from the wall. Can be improved temporarily by bleaching. Would any of your products clear sealants seal sufficiently to prevent the musty smell?

Peter Howard

A: Our products for sealing brickwork, stone walls and mortar are highly effective at preventing moisture ingress. We would suggest our Masonry Cream would be the most effective. Samples are available for testing. Hope that helps.
