sheen on floor
« on: March 04, 2009, 07:42:22 am »

can you stone experts advise me on the best possible sealer to apply to a stone floor, the custy is not sure sure what type of stone it is , but i,m going along today to take a look ,"will take some pics "  she wants it to have a high sheen finish that wont keep wearing out , " her words " she says she uses lithonium at the moment 1 coat only and after 3 or 4 weeks it goes dull and loses it colour. she isnt to bothered about expense of the sealer providing it will last.
So basicly I need a little info as what I should recommend.

The one i would use is Aquamix floor shine & hardener, you will need to strip old sealer of the stone using there sealer & coatings remover. You will need a floor scrubbing machine and a wet vac to remove the cleaner from the floor, then wash it with just water to remove any of the cleaner, then leave the floor for a day to dry, then seal following the instructions. If you need any moreinfo let me know. ;D ;

Does it give a high sheen ?  this is idealy what she is wanting.

I shall be cleaning using a pressure spinner with vac attached, after applying the stripper.

Make sure you get the floor as neutral as possible for the seal to take to.

Is the customer expecting too much?.No seals last forever.Good point about neutralising with an acidic rinse prior to applying the seal.
