Why is it important to seal the surfaces?
Treated surfaces are more durable, easier to maintain and possess an increased ability to withstand moisture related problems. #JUSTSEALIT penetrates deep into a porous material, physically altering the surface tension. A permanent chemical bond is formed after 30 days resulting in a hardier and more durable surface.
Corrosion can occur on untreated natural stone, tile, concrete and grout by being exposed to various environmental elements. Damage can be caused by mould/mildew, efflorescence, salts in pool water or even just slightly acidic PH rain water.
Application of #JUSTSEALIT will reduce or eliminate the impacts of corrosion. Efflorescence presents as an unsightly white powdery salt haze, and can cause permanent damage to a porous material if not addressed. It is a common occurrence in both natural and man-made stone, but can be significantly reduced or even prevented by treating with #JUSTSEALIT sealants.

How do I choose the right cleaner or sealer for my specific surface?
Head to our Products page and see our compare chart. If you still have questions, get in contact with one of our friendly staff that can answer any specific questions you may have.
How do I prepare my surfaces before sealing?
Ensure material to be treated is clean and bone dry.
We recommend cleaning with our Stone Wash neutral PH cleaner and Stain Aid for any
organic stains. Ensure leaves and debris are removed during autumn months to mitigate algae growth.
Application of sealant
Apply one wet on wet coat (two coats applied at once). Applicate sealer left to right then immediately apply sealant in opposite direction - with low pressure sprayer and / or lambswool applicator, ensure there is no excess or pooling evident.
How long does it take for the sealer to dry and be ready for use?
The curing time is 28 days from initial application however once the sealant is visibly dry (usually 1-2 hours) light foot traffic is permitted.
After 24 hours furniture can be placed back onto the treated surface and allow 48 hours for vehicles. Pool water containing corrosive minerals and chemicals to be washed off immediately.
How much coverage will I get from the sealants?
All surfaces absorb sealant differently, please refer to our application guide on our resources page, for coverage rates.
If you are still not sure how much to buy, please get in contact with our friendly staff.
How often should I reapply the sealer to maintain protection?
Whilst the sealant will provide permanent protection, the efficacy over time may decrease at different speeds depending on the environment and usage. We recommend re-application between 3-5 years for optimal protection.
Are your products resistant to weather conditions like rain and UV exposure?
Yes, our technology is designed and tested to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions.
Can I use your products on surfaces that have already been sealed by a different product?
Depending on the original sealant, our product can be applied over natural penetrating / impregnating sealants if the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepped. If there was a physical acrylic / polyurethane coating or a wet-look sealant then this will need to be removed prior to application. Basically, if you can see a sealant, no, if you cannot, yes.
What is the difference between water-based and solvent-based sealers?
Water and solvent act merely as a carrier of active ingredients onto a substrate, both will evaporate after impregnation occurs. Traditionally solvents were considered to be better as they allowed better depth of penetration, however with a global shit toward sustainability the focus has shifted and water-based technology has evolved.
