All Just about Interior DesignHow to protect stone floors from staining
by:
Edward Green
We are working all but daily with stain removal from natural stone surfaces. In fact I would-be say that in several instances we visit the same home much than 3 times in as many a months.
Stains in stone are thing
that should be left to the professional. Sure, there are many a quick fix websites offering proposal
but let me tell you, if you don't get it right 1st time it may be that the tile wish need replacement and finding a match is nearly impossible.
Nowadays, Stone Seals and sealants are in abundance, but which one is right for you?
Firstly - Ne'er
let the builder, preserver or floor installer apply the seal. The seal is an arduous task that necessarily careful consideration and correct application. I probably move out over 10,000 sq mtrs of poorly applied Lithofin stain finish a year wherever
the application has au fond wiped it onto the floor deed it porous and not sealed at all. So the owner has not only paid for the Lithofin seal but for us to move out it and provide the correct sealer for the stone.
"The Correct Sealer" I hear you cry. Yes, I am afraid to say that they are many a types of sealer for many a several stone types and what tasks the stone necessarily to do. First of all there are water based and solvent based sealers. Different questions to consider are;
Does the stone get heavy traffic?
How often is the stone cleaned?
what type of beverages makes the home use?
Any Allergies inside
the residents?
Type of finish preferred (matt), (Shine) etc?
DO we use water based?
DO we use Solvent Based?
Does the seal ever need topping up or replacement?
You get the picture;
The truth is if you do not use a professional Stone Sealer Device
such as Marble Master you are commonly throwing your money down the drain. A sealing material
application professional wish be able to help you do the correct choice.
