Product description
- Protects against dirt and (grease) stains
HG tile impregnating protector (product 13) is a special basic treatment for (new) unglazed tiles and flagstones. This unique product stops tiles absorbing and prevents the penetration of dirt and (grease) stains, without affecting the original character of the tile or sealing the floor. It contains no silicones, dries quickly and is suitable for all types of porous and low-porosity tiles and flagstones. The product can be used both indoors and outdoors. Depending on the material, 1 litre is good for up to 40 m² of floor space.
Instructions for use
- The surface must be completely clean, free of grease and dust
- For any necessary treatments: see the HG tile floors treatment matrix on the side of this bottle
- The adhesive/specimen and joints of new floors must be fully cured and dry
- This usually requires a drying time of 4-6 weeks
- Existing floors must be thoroughly dry after cleaning, allow at least 3 days for this to happen
- However, highly porous tiles, such as terracotta, need more time to completely lose water
- For these types of tiles, we recommend at least 1 week
- However, if the floor has underfloor heating switched on, a drying time of 24 hours is sufficient
- The underfloor heating must be switched off for at least 12 hours before treating with this product
- Apply the liquid undiluted, preferably using a paint roller, evenly and in one direction
- If, 10 minutes after application, there is still some product on the tiles, which has not been absorbed, it should be removed immediately with a dry and lint-free cloth
- For very porous tiles, a 2nd treatment is recommended.
- A second coat can be applied about 1 hour after the first treatment
- Approximately 3 hours after the last treatment the floor can be walked on normally again and 12 hours after the last treatment the floor is fully protected
- Consumption: Highly porous tiles 10-20 m2 per treatment
- Low-porous tiles: 20-40 m2 per treatment
