There are many types of limestone. These vary a great deal in terms of porosity also hardness, as well as in colour also texture. However limestone, although very hard wearing also durable is porous also therefore prone to staining. Limestone is or else not resistant to acid also harsh cleaning products, as well as spillages of acidic soft drinks, fruit juices, wine also vinegar etc can all damage the stone. The Limestone Treatment System protects limestone against such damage also ensures that it stays looking its best with the least possible effort.
Method
All new porous limestone floors need to be sealed either before fixing or before grouting with a suitable Impregnator. Our product offers a free 15 year performance warranty which means if the sealer does not stop staining we will come back free of charge also apply more sealant to stop staining. We have only had one callback for more protection out of literally hundreds of projects. The coverage is around four - eight m2 per litre. We offer the application process however you can apply it yourself if you want to. Apply as many coats as can absorbed. These will reduce the porosity which not only helps protect against staining, however or else enhances the natural beauty of the material also acts as the foundation for the surface finish.
If you decide to go the DIY route please make sure you evenly cover the tile with the impregnator. Once it becomes nearly dry you will need to wipe the tile with a clean white terry cloth to get an even texture across the tile, this is very important. Always work in one direction also not in a haphazard fashion as streaks will appear.
It is possible to purchase Limestone tiles that have been "dipped". Dipping means that a tile has been submerged into a tank containing an impregnator of sorts also thus has a protection element attached to it. This method is costly also before anyone tells you it has been "dipped" ask to test the porosity by taking some of the tile you are purchasing also scrutinize it with whatever liquids you generally use also or spill at home.
Once the flooring has been impregnated also allowed to dry it can be easily maintained with our Limestone dressing that cleans, maintains also offers some protective properties every time it is used, it is or else an environmentally friendly product that is fully biodegradable.
It really isn’t that more expensive to have professional sealant company such as Marble Master Ltd perform the sealing of the stone for you also you would qualify for the 15 year performance warranty. It is almost like having a free maintenance company on hand for the spillages you can’t remove. The warranty is a guarantee from the sealant manufacturer.
