What is floor sealer

Because our sealers 'impregnate' into the floor and effectively seal from 'within' a long lifespan from the sealer is guaranteed. Our floor sealers come in two finishes, 'dry, invisible sealer' and a 'colour enhanced wet finish'. Our sealent is suitable for all kinds of floors including slate, travertine and limestone. Application of floor sealer will also act as a highly effective grout sealer, which will protect the grout from muck and grime becoming stained.

Coverage rates for floor sealer will vary considerably dependent upon density of surface the sealer is being applied to. Generally coverage will be between m2 per litre but on some surfaces coverage of up to 14 m2 is possible. All our sealers for floors are a one coat product and can generally be walked on approx 4 hours after application.

Different sealers are used for different flooring materials as well as for different hazards. For example, concrete densifiers are made specifically to protect concrete flooring from water and contaminant penetration—which is ideal for garages and warehouses.

Diamond Productions DuraCoat is chemical resistant while also glossing and protecting the floor, making it the best choice for interior labs or research facilities. Sealers and finishers are not the same as polishers. However, some products can function as both a finisher and a polisher.

There are even slip resistant sealers, which both protect the floor and create traction to make it more slip-resistant. Polyurethane is the strongest and most durable. However, it has a distinct odor and it can be somewhat toxic. Solvent-based coatings are also strong but they are highly noxious. Water-based sealants are the best option for commercial spaces. They are eco-friendly, less toxic, and better for the long-term life of your floors.

We highly recommend using water-based sealants that are free of zinc, heavy metals, formaldehyde, ammonia, and nonylphenol surfactants.

Sealants are usually applied right after installation as well as periodic restorations. Some sealants call for annual restoration, others biannual, and still others every few months depending on the wear and the type of sealant. Most sealants are applied using a foam brush in smooth, even layers. Seal concrete floors and protect smooth or powerfloated concrete with Watco Powerfloat Sealer.
