NCC Stone Sealer & Enhancer - Buy Now
NCC Natural Stone Sealer & Enhancer is a clear Impregnating sealer developed for NCC to be the ideal solution for enhancing the natural beauty of stone paving, whilst also protecting and preventing surface staining on many different types and finishes of permeable natural and reconstituted stone and other mineral paving surfaces. This includes natural sandstones, limestones, granites and slates etc., as well as for other pavers such as exterior quarry tiles, bricks & concrete block paving etc.
The science behind the NCC Natural Stone Sealer & Enhancer is that is a new advance in water-borne sealers, which penetrates very well and can be applied over a wide temperature range of from 5°C to 25°C. The NCC Natural Stone Sealer & Enhancer is a very effective surface impregnating sealer that dries with a natural 'silk matt' finish which subtly enhances the natural colours and texture of your paving, where it also protect the surface against staining because it strongly repels water, oil and grease.
Technically this means that NCC Natural Stone Sealer is classified as being both hydrophobic and oleophobic material. However, and very importantly, NCC Natural Stone Sealer & Enhancer also allows the treated surfaces to breathe/transpire in accordance with normal building materials physics - this means that unsightly staining and discoloration due to salts entrapment does not occur.

Application - Directions for use:
Shake the bottle of the NCC Stone Sealer & Enhancer prior to use and ensure that the surfaces to be treated are completely clean and dry.
Pour the NCC Stone Sealer & Enhancer into a suitable container, such as a good-sized roller tray, and apply uniformly using a brush, roller or other suitable proprietary application equipment. More absorbent surfaces may require further coats and on such porous and permeable surfaces the product must be generously applied to fill and seal the surface. Allow at least two hours between coats. N.B. The aim is to completely fill the substrate pores without over applying it and any surface ponding must be strictly avoided and removed if necessary.
Typical consumption between 3 to 8m2 per litre per coat, depending on the surface porosity. Following the sealer's application it will dry quite quickly, however do not allow the sealed surfaces to get wet and keep the area dry and protected from any significant rain and/or any other water run-off for a minimum of 3 days (allow 5 days for full service and any vehicle traffic), where possible for the dry film to achieve the optimum strength.
Important note: On any sensitive stone and other surfaces, as always and as with all paving treatments and sealers, we strongly recommend carrying out an inconspicuous test area and allow this to dry thoroughly first and before the overall application, as this is always the best way to ensure that all parties are happy.
