Overview

It soaks in and lines the pores with water-repelling groups instead of forming a film. Rain beads off, dirt and salts rinse away, and the stone still breathes, so damp is not trapped behind it. It is a PFAS-free, water-based nanocoating.

Film sealers such as varnishes, acrylics and wet-look coatings sit on top instead. They change how the stone looks, trap moisture underneath, and wear, peel or yellow in sun and foot traffic.

Independent lab test

24 hours under water. 2.96% absorbed.

A sample treated with Stone + Brick was fully immersed in water for 24 hours at 24 °C, then weighed. It took up just 2.96% of its weight in water: the coating keeps water out even when the surface is completely submerged, while still letting the stone breathe.

Water absorption to ASTM D570, 24 °C / 24 h. Tested by an independent NABL-accredited laboratory in Pune. Results apply to the sample tested.

Where to use it

Stone, brick and concrete, inside and out

Natural stone wall

Natural stone

Sandstone, limestone, travertine, granite, honed marble

Soft, open stones absorb the most and stain fastest, so they gain the most. Dense granite and honed marble take less: apply less and wipe off surplus within 10–15 minutes. Polished marble is usually too dense; test first.

Exposed brick wall

Brick and terracotta

Exposed brick, jaali, terracotta and quarry tiles

Brick soaks up monsoon rain, then pushes salts out as it dries: the white bloom called efflorescence. A breathable sealer lets less water in, so less salt reaches the face. Clean the bloom off and let the wall dry fully first, or you seal the problem in.

Outdoor stone paving

Concrete, render, pavers, grout

Driveways, compound walls, parapets, blocks

Keeps surfaces from darkening, staining and growing moss. New concrete must cure for 28 days first.

  • Driveways and patiosRain beads off and dirt stays on top.
  • Pool surroundsSplash zones and other wet areas.
  • Façades and heritage brickBreathable, so damp is not trapped behind it.
  • Boundary and garden wallsWeathered walls stay cleaner for longer.
  • Kitchen and bathroom stone topsNew or used, anywhere in the home.

Not suitable for

  • Glazed tiles, glass and sanitaryware: no open pores to enter. Use Glass + Ceramic.
  • Surfaces with an existing sealer, wax or curing compound: strip it first.
  • Below-ground waterproofing, or anything under constant water pressure such as the inside of a tank.
  • Fresh concrete less than 28 days old.

What treated stone looks like

Algae, moss and green growth

Talk to us before you clean

Green and black growth has to be killed inside the pores, not just scrubbed off the face, or it comes back under the protection. The wrong cleaner can also damage brick and mortar in ways that only show up months after sealing.

Every site is different, so we assess algae and green growth case by case and advise on the right preparation before sealing.

  • Kills it at the rootNot just a surface strip, so it doesn’t grow straight back.
  • Safe for brick and mortarNo harsh acids that eat joints or leave salts behind.
  • Ready for sealingA clean, neutral, fully dry wall before the first coat.

How to apply

Clean it, flood it on once, let it breathe

1

Prepare the surface

  • Clean off dirt, oil, efflorescence, old coatings and any algae, then rinse.
  • Let it dry for at least 24–48 hours.
  • Apply at 5–35 °C with no rain expected for 12 hours.
  • Test a small, hidden area first.

Water test. Sprinkle water on a clean, dry patch and watch for a minute. Try a few spots on big jobs: old coatings are often patchy.

It darkens and soaks in

The pores are open. Ready to seal.

It beads

An old sealer or contamination is still there. Strip it, then test again.

In most of India, seal in the dry months just before the monsoon, so walls and floors go into the rains protected.

Apply it

  1. Wet it evenlyLow-pressure sprayer for large areas, or brush or roller, until the surface looks evenly wet. Each litre of diluted sealer treats 70–80 sq ft; very porous stone takes more.
  2. Wipe dense stoneOn polished or dense stone, sponge off any surplus within 10–15 minutes so nothing dries on the face.
  3. One coat onlyOnce the first coat repels water, a second cannot get in.
  4. Let it cureNo foot traffic for 6 hours. Keep it dry for 24 hours; curing takes longer in high humidity.

Care and re-application

How long it lasts

5years from
one coatup to, outdoors, depending on exposure

The protection sits inside the pores, not on the surface, so foot traffic doesn’t wear it away the way it wears a film. It resists UV and thermal shock. Expect less than 5 years on heavily trafficked floors.

  • Clean with water and a soft brush or cloth. On large outdoor areas a hose on its lowest pressure is fine; don’t overdo high pressure close to the surface.
  • Use a pH-neutral cleaner for stubborn marks. Acids, bleach and aggressive chemical cleaners shorten its life.
  • Re-apply when water starts to darken the surface again instead of beading.

Questions

About using Stone + Brick.

Will it change the look of my stone?

No. It leaves no gloss or film, so colour and texture stay as they are. Always try a small, hidden area first to confirm on your particular stone.

Does it make stone waterproof?

It makes the surface water-repellent: rain and spills bead and run off instead of soaking in. It is not designed to hold back water under pressure, so it does not replace waterproofing membranes below ground or in tanks.

Can it be used on brick walls that already show efflorescence?

Yes, once the salts have been cleaned off and the wall has dried completely. Sealing a damp, salty wall traps the problem.

How do I remove algae before sealing?

Not with acid: it strips the surface but leaves the growth alive in the pores and can harm brick and mortar. We assess algae on a case-by-case basis and advise on the right preparation before sealing. Ask us when you request a quote.

Who applies it?

Applicators, contractors and facility teams, with standard spray, brush or roller equipment. We supply the concentrate in 10 L cans and help with the first job if needed.

How should I store it?

Sealed, at 5–30 °C, away from frost and direct sunlight. Shelf life is 24 months unopened and 12 months once opened.
