Price range: R196.65 through R2,501.25
STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer is a professional protective treatment designed for suitable natural stone, masonry and wall-cladding surfaces. It helps provide water and dirt-repellent protection while maintaining the natural appearance of the treated surface.
Wall cladding is exposed to rain, moisture, airborne dirt, dust and environmental contamination. Applying a suitable penetrating sealer can help reduce water absorption and dirt retention, making compatible wall-cladding surfaces easier to maintain.
STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer is suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior wall-cladding applications where additional water and stain resistance is required.

Wall-cladding sealer is a protective treatment applied to suitable stone, masonry and other porous wall-cladding materials to help reduce water penetration, dirt retention and staining.
A penetrating wall-cladding sealer works below or within the surface rather than forming a heavy visible coating over the material. This allows the natural texture and appearance of suitable stone and masonry cladding to remain visible.
STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer is designed to provide protective treatment for compatible wall surfaces exposed to moisture, weathering and everyday contamination.

What is wall-cladding sealer used for?
Wall-cladding sealer is used to provide additional water and dirt-repellent protection to suitable natural stone, masonry and other porous wall-cladding surfaces.
Does stone wall cladding need sealing?
Not all wall cladding requires sealing. Porous natural stone and masonry can benefit from a suitable sealer where improved water repellency, dirt resistance and easier maintenance are required.
Can natural stone wall cladding be sealed?
Yes. Suitable natural stone wall-cladding surfaces can be treated with an appropriate penetrating sealer after confirming compatibility and testing the surface.
Can wall-cladding sealer be used outside?
Yes. STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer is suitable for exterior applications on compatible surfaces.
Can wall-cladding sealer be used inside?
Yes. Suitable interior stone and masonry wall-cladding surfaces can also be treated with STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer.
Does wall-cladding sealer make stone waterproof?
A suitable sealer can provide water-repellent protection and reduce water absorption, but sealing should not be considered a substitute for properly designed waterproofing or drainage systems.
Does wall-cladding sealer change the appearance of stone?
The effect depends on the specific surface and sealer. Always test STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer on a small inconspicuous area before full application.
Can wall-cladding sealer prevent staining?
A suitable penetrating sealer can help reduce the absorption of staining substances and make compatible surfaces easier to maintain, but it does not make a surface completely stain-proof.
How should stone wall cladding be prepared before sealing?
The surface should be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, efflorescence and unsuitable previous coatings before sealing.
Who should apply wall-cladding sealer?
Wall-cladding sealer can be applied by homeowners and professionals depending on the size and complexity of the project. Large commercial or specialist stone installations should be assessed and treated by experienced professionals.
How often should wall cladding be sealed?
Sealer longevity depends on the surface, exposure, traffic, weather and cleaning regime. The surface should be periodically assessed and resealed when protection begins to diminish.
Can wall-cladding sealer be used on masonry?
Yes, STONESHIELD™ Wall-Cladding Sealer can be considered for suitable masonry surfaces. Always confirm compatibility and conduct a test area before application.
Is wall-cladding sealer suitable for exterior stone walls?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible exterior stone wall-cladding applications where additional water and dirt repellency is required.
What is the difference between wall sealer and waterproofing?
A wall sealer helps reduce water absorption and provide surface protection, while waterproofing systems are designed to prevent water ingress through a substrate or building assembly. They serve different purposes.
