THE PROJECT:

Piet Boon, a renowned international designer, required help sealing the surfaces of his new HQ. The total surface space was a combination of concrete, marble and limestone. Mr. Boon wanted the surface restored to new condition and permanently sealed.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

 Arte di Granito had to consider a number of prerequisites before deciding on a solution:

• The marble, concrete and limestone surfaces are all acid-sensitive and therefore needed to be deep cleaned without the use of acids.
• Sealer must not alter the original look.
• Application must not disrupt everyday use and business activity in the area.
• Sealed surface must be easily maintained with simple mop and bucket cleaning.
• Sealer must be permanent.

THE STAIN-PROOF^® SOLUTION:

1. Deep clean and remove the existing the stains using STAIN-PROOF Alkaline Cleaner, formerly known as Oxy Klenza™

Alkaline Cleaner is a powerful alkaline and oxygen cleaner (typically pH 9-11) which will deep pore clean and remove stains, without any harm to acid sensitive surfaces. Alkaline Cleaner is a 100% powder concentrate and very inexpensive. It also breaks down odours. Alkaline Cleaner is environmentally friendly, and breaks down into oxygen and natural salts within a couple of hours. 

2.  Seal the surfaces with STAIN-PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer, formerly known as STAIN PROOF Original™

Premium Impregnating Sealer makes the treated surface permanently oil and water repellent, so that spills remain up on the surface, where they can be easily mopped off. Premium Impregnating Sealer will cure enough in 8 – 10 hours for the surfaces to be used, so sealing can be performed after hours with no interruption of the traffic. Surfaces treated with Premium Impregnating Sealer are much easier to clean. Premium Impregnating Sealer bonds permanently with the treated material.

A 15-YEAR PERFORMANCE WARRANTY is available when Premium Impregnating Sealer is applied by a STAIN-PROOF Accredited Applicator following our written instructions.
