1. What is GLEAN Patio Stain Stop Sealer?
GLEAN Patio Stain Stop Sealer is a premium solvent-based impregnating sealer designed to protect natural and man-made stone surfaces from stains, water ingress, and surface damage. It penetrates deep into the surface to create an invisible, long-lasting barrier against water, oil, dirt, limescale, and grease — all while maintaining the stone’s natural look and texture.
2. What kind of finish does it provide?
The sealer delivers a natural matt finish, preserving the authentic colour and texture of your patio, stone flooring, or paving without altering its appearance.
3. What surfaces can it be used on?
GLEAN Patio Stain Stop Sealer is suitable for a wide range of materials, including:
• Natural stone (Indian sandstone, granite, slate, limestone, travertine)
• Man-made stone and concrete
• Brick, quarry tiles, and paving slabs
It’s perfect for use on patios, driveways, terraces, floors, and walls — both indoors and outdoors.
4. Is it suitable for interior and exterior use?
Yes. This versatile sealer is formulated for both interior and exterior applications, providing reliable protection in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, patios, and outdoor entertainment areas.
5. How does the product protect my surfaces?
The solvent-based formula penetrates deep into the pores of the surface to form a breathable, water-repellent barrier that:
• Prevents stains from oil, grease, and dirt
• Protects against limescale and efflorescence
• Reduces water absorption and frost damage
• Allows moisture vapour to escape, preventing damp-related deterioration
6. How do I apply GLEAN Patio Stain Stop Sealer?
1 Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease, or other contaminants.
2 Application: Apply evenly with a brush, roller, or lint-free cloth. Avoid over-application and ensure full coverage.
3 Drying: Allow to dry thoroughly. Multiple coats may be applied for additional protection, ensuring each coat is fully absorbed before reapplying.
4 Aftercare: Avoid washing or exposing the surface to moisture for at least 24 hours after application.
7. What coverage can I expect?
Coverage varies based on surface porosity, but typically:
• 20–35m² per litre on most stone and masonry surfaces.
For highly porous materials, a second coat may be required for full protection.
