An anti-slip treatment for stone, concrete and tiled floors. It reacts with the silica already present in the substrate and improves grip even when the floor is wet, without changing its appearance or texture. Water-based and non-corrosive.
Surface
Block paving
The surface the manufacturer intends this preparation for.
This is neither a sealer nor a wax. Guard Slip Resistant reacts with the silica already present in the stone or concrete and creates a micro-structure that improves grip - including when the floor is wet.
Two things follow from that mechanism. First: there is no layer to wear away or peel off, and the appearance of the surface does not change. Second: there is no roughening, so the floor does not start collecting dirt more than it did before.
The manufacturer states effectiveness after a single application and a water-based, non-corrosive formula - which matters on sensitive stone, where traditional etching methods damage the material. Recommended places: patios, drives, pool surrounds, kitchen floors.
The usual reason a sealing job fails is not the product but the substrate. A sealer will not bond to a surface with grease, lime efflorescence or an old coating on it.
New paving has to season first. Manufacturers state that period on the data sheet - usually around 28 days from the date the block was made. The figure for each product is under "Technical data".
Before sealing the whole area, test on a patch hidden by a planter or in a corner of the patio. The same product can read differently on two batches of the same material, and on a surface with old coating left on it, it will not bond at all.
That depends on the finish given in the technical data. An invisible product leaves the colour alone, a wet-look version deepens it permanently, and a colour sealer gives it a new shade. Each product's finish is listed under "Technical data".
By how the water behaves. While it still beads on the surface, the treatment is working. Once water starts soaking in and dark patches return after rain, the protection has worn out. We do not quote a number of years, because it depends on traffic, sun and whether the drive is salted in winter.
No. Water occupies the pores the product is meant to enter, and stays trapped under the film. The result is often a milky bloom that cannot be removed without stripping the coat. The exceptions - products that allow slight surface dampness - say so in their technical data.
Use the calculator under the product description: it takes the manufacturer's coverage figure, the number of coats and the absorbency of the substrate, and turns them into pack sizes. On older, thirstier paving, work to the lower end of the coverage range.
Penetrating products form no film on the surface and do not change its grip. Where a manufacturer says something about slipperiness, we quote it in the technical data. If the surface is already slippery, the right product is an anti-slip treatment, not a sealer.
By mechanism. Polish'Guard lays a wear layer on the surface - it has to be renewed, and diluted 1:9 it serves as a maintenance product. Guard Slip Resistant reacts with the material and lays nothing on it, so the appearance of the floor is unchanged.
Those containing silica: stone and concrete, and also ceramics, terrazzo, tiles and enamel - the manufacturer lists materials of low and very low porosity. On plastics and timber the mechanism does not apply.
The manufacturer states effectiveness after one application and describes the effect as long-lasting, without giving a period in months. So we do not quote a period the data sheet does not contain.
The technical sheet and safety data sheet will be available after approval.
Enter the area and how absorbent the substrate is. We work out the litres and the packs.
The manufacturer states 1 l to approx. 10 m² for a single application.
Example for 45 m²
