Key Features and Benefits
- Prevents damage caused by salt deposits and moisture, making it ideal for poolside applications.
- Provides high water repellency, keeping surfaces dry and protected from weather elements.
- Allows moisture to escape from surfaces while still preventing external water penetration, ensuring that the structure remains intact.
- Perfect for restoring weakened or deteriorated stone and masonry, adding strength and longevity.
- Offers deep penetration into porous surfaces for maximum protection and long-lasting results.
Where to Use Solutions Sealers Consolidate?
Solutions Sealers Consolidate is suitable for use on:
- External and internal porous stone surfaces (including sandstone and masonry).

How to Prepare the Surface for Application
Before applying Solutions Sealers Consolidate, ensure proper surface preparation to achieve the best results:
-
Clean the Surface Thoroughly
- Use NATURAL CLEAN for general cleaning.
- For heavily soiled or acid-sensitive surfaces, use D-GREASE.
- Non-acid-sensitive surfaces can be cleaned with D-SCALE.
-
Neutralize the Surface
- After cleaning, neutralize the surface with NATURAL CLEAN to remove any contaminants.
-
Drying Time
- Allow the surface to dry for about 12 hours before sealing.
-
Protect Nearby Surfaces
- Tape or protect nearby areas, as Solutions Sealers Consolidate will bond to siliceous materials such as glass.

Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
