AK Surface Solutions supplies professional stone sealers, impregnating protectors, stain protection treatments, colour enhancers and wax finishes for natural stone, terracotta, terrazzo, concrete, brick, block paving and other porous mineral surfaces.
The correct sealer depends on the material, absorbency, location and finish required. Some surfaces need an invisible water repellent impregnator, while others need extra stain protection, colour enhancement or a wax finish.
Before selecting a treatment, identify whether the material is highly absorbent, medium absorbency, dense or polished. You should also establish whether the surface is indoors or outdoors and whether the finished appearance should remain natural or become colour enhanced.
Choose the first impregnating treatment according to the absorbency, density and location of the material.
For medium to highly absorbent natural stone.
For polished or low absorbency natural stone.
For high-traffic porous stone.
For terracotta, brick, block paving and porous materials.
For the best protection, we recommend a two-stage sealing system for suitable natural stone surfaces.
First, apply a water repellent impregnating sealer to reduce water absorption and moisture ingress. The treatment should be selected according to the density and absorbency of the stone.
Then apply a second stain protection treatment to improve resistance against staining and everyday spillages. Depending on the result required, the second treatment may provide a natural finish, colour enhancement or a polished, satin or matt wax finish.
After applying the appropriate impregnating sealer, select a second treatment according to the appearance and additional protection required.
A water-based stain protection treatment that helps maintain a natural appearance. It is especially suitable for honed or more absorbent natural stone surfaces.
A solvent-based stain protection treatment for suitable natural stone surfaces, especially dense or polished stone where deeper penetration is required.
Recommended for polished or dense stone surfaces where a deeper, enhanced colour is required.
A water-based enhancer for absorbent to medium absorbency stone.
A solvent-based enhancer for medium to high absorbency stone.
Use HIDROFAB for a polished finish, HIDROFAB AR for a satin finish or HIDROFAB MATT for a matt finish.
HIDRO PROTECTOR MM is very effective on absorbent outdoor stone such as sandstone patios, limestone paving and other porous external natural stone surfaces.
It will help reduce water absorption, moisture ingress and staining without changing the appearance of the stone. On outdoor absorbent stone, it will also help reduce the penetration of organic growth, black algae and environmental contamination into the surface.
The surface should be cleaned first and allowed to dry properly before application. HIDRO PROTECTOR MM does not replace normal cleaning or maintenance, but it will help protect the stone and make future cleaning easier.
For absorbent marble, limestone and travertine, we recommend HIDRO PROTECTOR MM before installation because it is designed for natural stone and calcite-based materials.
It penetrates into the stone, reduces water absorption, moisture ingress and rising damp, and does not normally change the appearance of the material.
Before installation, the stone should be fully immersed in a container of HIDRO PROTECTOR MM so all sides are treated, including the face, back and edges. This gives more complete protection before the stone is fixed.
This process will help reduce reflective staining from adhesives, bedding materials and moisture. It will also help reduce staining from grout during installation. Always test first and allow the stone to dry properly before installation.
Correct application and complete removal of excess product are essential for an even finish.
Water-based products such as HIDRO PROTECTOR MM, HIDRO SST, HIDRO 150 and WET LOOK ECO are often applied with a pump-up sprayer and spread evenly with a flat mop.
Solvent-based products such as B1/700, DEEP ENHANCER and P147 PLUS are applied with a T-bar, lambswool applicator or suitable brush.
Before sealing, the surface must be clean, dry and free from grease, old residues, waxes, stains and contamination. For preparation cleaning, view our professional cleaning products. For oil, rust or organic staining, use our stain removal products first.
If you are unsure which sealer, impregnator, enhancer or wax finish is right for your surface, contact AK Surface Solutions for advice. We will help you choose the correct system for marble, limestone, travertine, sandstone, granite, terracotta, terrazzo, concrete, block paving, brick and other specialist hard surfaces.
Use these practical answers to understand the recommended protection sequence, product types and application methods. Always review the individual product instructions and test the selected treatment before full application.

Yes. AC 300 is suitable for absorbent porous materials such as terracotta, cotto, brick, block paving, driveways and other porous mineral surfaces.
It is a water-based impregnating treatment that reduces absorption and protects the surface without forming a heavy surface coating. It is especially useful where the material is porous and needs water repellency or additional protection.
For a natural finish, use a natural-look impregnator or stain protection product.
HIDRO PROTECTOR MM is a good choice for medium to highly absorbent stone. For dense stone, use HIDRO SST.
For extra natural-look stain protection, use HIDRO 150 on honed or more absorbent stone, or B1/700 on dense or polished stone where suitable.
For colour enhancement, use DEEP ENHANCER, WET LOOK ECO or P147 PLUS.
With all enhancers, remove all excess product from the surface. Any residue left to dry can create uneven marks, stickiness or unwanted shine.
Water-based products such as HIDRO PROTECTOR MM, HIDRO SST, HIDRO 150 and WET LOOK ECO are often applied with a pump-up sprayer and spread evenly with a flat mop.
For small areas, edges or DIY projects, apply with a brush and buff off with a clean microfibre cloth. For professional work, buff with a white pad on a rotary machine where suitable.
Always remove excess product and do not allow puddles or uneven residue to dry on the surface.
Solvent-based products such as B1/700, DEEP ENHANCER and P147 PLUS are applied with a T-bar, lambswool applicator or suitable brush.
After application, buff the surface with a white pad on a rotary machine or buff dry by hand with a clean microfibre cloth. Removing all excess product is essential for an even finish.
