THE PROJECT:

Heritage Tiling & Restoration Company specializes in Wall & Floor Restoration/Conservation and is a world leader in the restoration of Victoria Geometric and Encaustic tile. For this job, Heritage was tasked to restore an original late 18th century Victorian Geometric tiled floor and to add an extension floor that complemented the original tiling. STAIN-PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer, formerly known as STAIN-PROOF Original™, was chosen for its longevity and superior stain protection.

 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Provides long lasting protection
• Protection against damage caused by water and oil
• Minimal maintenance 
• The surface must remain breathable while reducing water uptake
• Overlapping layers of previously applied sealers had discoloured the surface. These needed to be removed and replaced with a permanent impregnator which would maintain the original look of the surface

THE STAIN-PROOF^® SOLUTION:

STAIN-PROOF’s world leading, invisible impregnator, Premium Impregnating Sealer was chosen. The chemistry of Premium Impregnating Sealer is unique. Specially engineered molecules which are hundreds of times smaller than competitor sealers penetrate much deeper into the pores of the material, where they then bond permanently without affecting the look or breathability of the material. This uniquely deep water and oil repellent barrier not only protect against staining but also structural damage caused by water ingress, freeze-thaw spalling, and salt efflorescense. Premium Impregnating Sealer makes the surface quicker and easier to clean. 

With Premium Impregnating Sealer resealing every couple of years is not required. The project is backed by a standard, ‘no fine print’ Premium Impregnating Sealer 15-year performance warranty, when applied by a STAIN-PROOF Accredited Applicator.
