H2O Seal & Shine™ Water-Based Floor Sealer for Stone, Cement & Concrete
Price range: R210.28 through R3,795.00
STONESHIELD™ H2O Seal & Shine™ is a professional water-based resin sealer designed to provide protective surface sealing for compatible concrete, cement, natural stone, paving, brick and masonry surfaces. It provides resistance against water, rain and staining while creating a protective surface film with a satin sheen and slight colour enhancement.
H2O Seal & Shine™ is particularly suited to contractors and property owners looking for a water-based alternative for sealing cement-based floors, cement tiles, oxidised cement surfaces, imprint paving and other compatible porous surfaces. The formulation can be used for both interior and exterior applications where the substrate and environmental conditions are suitable.
Unlike a purely penetrating water repellent, H2O Seal & Shine™ is a resin-type surface sealer that forms a protective film over the substrate. This makes it useful where the objective is not only to reduce staining but also to provide surface protection and improve the cleanability and appearance of the finished surface.
Choosing the correct sealer depends on the substrate, porosity, expected traffic, desired appearance, location and level of protection required. STONESHIELD™ H2O Seal & Shine™ is one of several professional sealing systems available, making it important to select the product according to the surface and project requirements.

STONESHIELD™ H2O Seal & Shine™ is a water-based resin surface sealer designed to protect compatible porous mineral surfaces while providing a satin sheen finish. It creates a protective surface film that helps resist water, rain and staining.
The product is designed for interior and exterior applications and can be used on compatible unpolished and medium-porosity natural stone, sandstone, slate, quartzite, cement tiles, coloured cement floors, bricks, concrete, plaster and masonry surfaces.
H2O Seal & Shine™ is different from a penetrating water repellent because it is a resin sealer that provides surface protection and a visible finish. It is therefore suited to projects where the customer wants both surface protection and an improved finished appearance.
FloorsHQ technical guidance identifies H2O Seal & Shine™ as a suitable resin sealer for cement screeds and certain oxidised cement and paving applications, while other STONESHIELD™ products are recommended where different levels of colour enhancement, gloss, penetration or durability are required.
