Seal of approval
Porous materials such as sandstone or travertine can be protected for 15 years or more, with invisible sealers from Dry-Treat
It's a scenario that many of us know only too well. You spill food or drink on your new paving or tiles, then rush to clean it up, hoping it hasn't already created a permanent stain.
All porous materials draw in liquids, which can cause staining and even lasting damage, says Gabriel Chapman of Australian company Dry-Treat.
"Marks from food and drink spills can be hard or even impossible to remove," says Chapman. "Water can also be a problem, whether from your pool, the ground or a concrete base. Water is full of dissolved minerals which can rot, stain and break up a porous surface."
Dry-Treat has developed a range of sealers, including its Stain-Proof sealer, to prolong the life of porous surfaces without altering their colour or finish.
"Instead of a glossy artificial surface, Dry-Treat sealers are invisible. Tiny molecules penetrate and bond inside the pores without blocking them.
"This creates a deep protective barrier that will last at least 15 years before another application is needed," he says.
The Stain-Proof sealer has been used for large projects around the world, such as the BBC Scotland headquarters, the Samsung Museum in Seoul and the Police Memorial in Canberra.
All Dry-Treat sealers are backed by a 15-year written warranty, if applied by an accredited company.
