Porcelain and ceramic tiles, grout lines, natural stone, concrete and terracotta. Always test a small hidden area first, and avoid non-absorbent glazed surfaces that will not take a penetrating sealer.
No, water-based sealers will maintain the original appearance, however, always do a test patch to confirm the look before full application.
Yes, water-based penetrating sealers allow vapour to pass so the surface can breathe, and they have low odour and low volatile organic compounds, suitable for interior use with normal ventilation.
Clean and dry the surface thoroughly, apply an even coat with a pad, roller or sprayer, and remove any excess before it dries. A second coat may be needed on very porous materials. Follow the label for dry and cure times.
Longevity depends on traffic, exposure and maintenance. Clean sealed surfaces with a neutral cleaner and reapply when water no longer beads or when staining becomes easier to remove.
