The Benefits of Stone Shield Cement Sealer

Strength, as well as dependability in foundations, make concrete an essential building material; however, it is not only that. On the other hand, its porosity is seen as vulnerable because it allows soluble salts to enter bodies of water, causing harmful effects over time. The point of major concern here is that when mixed with steel reinforcement, the presence of chlorides in salts poses a danger of corroding, particularly chloride-ion salts. FloorsHQ’s Stone Shield cement sealer is what takes care of all that, making sure that your concrete structures are protected from environmental hazards and stay firm most of the time.

Understanding the Need for Cement Sealer

Concrete has the ability to absorb moisture over time, which can ultimately cause severe structural integrity issues. The corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement is one of the main problems. In South Africa, where the conditions of the climate differ a lot and the concrete is exposed to different environmental factors, it is not a luxury to save this important material but a necessity. When concrete is exposed to the environment and is therefore vulnerable to the challenges, a high-grade cement sealer is often the most common but necessary solution. The most effective shield against moisture and chlorides, which are the two main causes of concrete deterioration, is our Stone Shield cement sealer.

How Does Stone Shield Cement Sealer Work?

Our Stone Shield cement sealer is not the same product as the rest, but instead, it is a symbol of progress in protection. Both new and existing concrete surfaces will be covered with this sealer, which will go through the pores and create a barrier. This obstacle is highly efficient in repelling water and chlorides; therefore, the risk of damage caused by moisture is minimised and corrosion induced by salt is eliminated. It is perfect for above-grade applications where exposure to moisture is indeed a common factor, for example, parking decks, exterior surfaces, and block and masonry walls.

Features and Benefits of Stone Shield Cement Sealer

Maximum Protection

Our Stone Shield cement sealer is not only regular surface protection but also guards the cement on a deeper level. It contains high-quality oil and water-repellent properties, so that water will not penetrate the surface of concrete and your objects will remain clean. Therefore, the life span of the concrete objects will be prolonged.

Deep Penetration

Contrary to other superficial coatings, our product is engineered to soak the concrete. To achieve not only a superficial defence but also a deep barrier that reinforces the concrete from within, thus maintaining its natural looks and structural properties, is what this measure aims at.

Aesthetic Enhancement

Our sealer serves two purposes together: besides the protection, it has a “wet look” finish, if this is what you are looking for. It intensifies the natural colour and texture of the cement with a polished, shiny, and vibrant surface that clicks in any setting.

Versatility

Our sealer is a universal formula for all sorts of situations, for example, from the interior to the most severe conditions outside. Its versatile character is an advantage over other types of protective coatings that are only suitable for protecting specific surfaces, such as tiles, pavers, cobbles, and self-leveling cement screeds.

Select the Right Product for Your Project

Our Stone Shield cement sealer comes in a variety of sizes, making sure that you can apply it to any scale of project while still using the right amount. In the case of small residential areas, a 1-litre container would be the right choice, as it will ensure proper coverage up to 3m². For bigger business spaces, a 5-litre bottle size is able to seal 15m² of space. Deciding on a specific volume of sealer allows for optimum coverage and great results in concrete treatment, thus ensuring the durability and good looks of the surfaces.
