Frequently Asked Questions on Shower Sealers and Concrete Sealers in Nelson Bay

Why Seal?

Natural stone, tile, masonry, concrete, and grout are all made up of numerous capillary pores that are undetectable to the naked eye. This makes them porous, allowing harmful liquids like water, water-borne salts, and oils to penetrate. These substances cause the building materials to decay early, reducing their utility. Weathering, deterioration, efflorescence, salt attack, freeze-thaw spalling, sulphate attack, alkali-aggregate reaction, unsightly staining, biological attack, reinforcement rusting, chemical attack, swelling, thermal conductivity, embrittlement, and picture framing are all examples of deterioration. Most of these issues can be eliminated or considerably reduced by sealing.

 

What type of concrete sealers or shower sealers should I use?

Topical sealers and impregnating concrete sealers and shower sealers in Nelson Bay are the two basic types of sealers. A topical sealer creates a physical barrier over the surface, resulting in the surface darkening as a result of the coating that was put to it. These coatings typically wear and weather fast, making the surface more slippery when wet and requiring total removal for re-coating. Salts can also accumulate beneath the surface, making the coating hazy. There are two types of impregnating shower sealers and concrete sealers in Nelson Bay are those that repel water and those that repel both water and oil-based stains.

 

Impregnating shower sealers and concrete sealers in Nelson Bay normally have little effect on the surface's frictional qualities and look, but they do not totally prevent dirt and rubber from entering the surface's open pores. The two most critical things to ask when evaluating impregnating sealers are: (a) how long does it last? and (b) how far does it go beneath the surface? To give protection against traffic wear and weathering, a good depth of penetration is required.

 

 How much amount of sealer is required? How do I calculate?

Measure the length and width of the area to be sealed to figure out how much sealer you'll use. The amount of shower sealer or concrete sealer required will vary depending on the material to be sealed in Nelson Bay. For example, 1 litre per 7 sq.m. (1 quart per 70 sq. ft. per quart) is required to seal a wet-poured cement-based paver, while 1 litre per 4 sq.m. is required for sandstone (1 quart per 40 sq. ft. per quart). Your shower seal manufacturer in Nelson Bay can give you an estimate of how much sealer you'll need for a certain material.

Should the shower sealer or concrete sealer in Nelson Bay be water-based or solvent-based?

To get the active components onto or into the surface, a shower sealer or concrete sealer in Nelson Bay need a carrier. Water or a non-water based solvent can be used as the carrier.

 

I have applied the sealer, now they have a sticky residue on the surface what to do?

If there is too much sealer on the surface, this can happen. If the sealer is only a few days old, the residue can be removed by putting a small amount to a dry white cotton cloth and buffing the residue until it is clean. The residue should be dissolved as a result of this. If the residue has dried, use a dry white towel to apply paint stripper to the residue and polish it until it is clean. A nylon scouring pad may also be used to get rid of very persistent residue.
