Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat – Gold Series (Clear Acrylic Sealant)

Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold): Premium Protection for Porous Surfaces

Protect your expensive natural stone, terracotta tiles, and porous concrete surfaces with the durable, water-resistant finish of Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold). This specialized, clear, water-based coating is engineered to penetrate deeply into porous substrates, sealing the surface against moisture, dirt, and staining while providing a subtle to high sheen (depending on the number of coats applied).

Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold) is a critical solution for Indian homes, where dust, foot traffic, and rain constantly degrade stone and cement surfaces. By forming an invisible, non-yellowing protective layer, it significantly reduces maintenance and enhances the visual richness of the natural stone and tile colours.

Why Use Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold)?

Standard varnishes and sealers fail quickly on exterior stone. This Gold Series product offers targeted protection:

• Superior Stain Resistance: It seals the microscopic pores in the stone and concrete, preventing oil, grease, tea, and turmeric stains from penetrating and setting permanently.
• Moisture & Efflorescence Barrier: It prevents water ingress, which is the primary cause of white salt formation (efflorescence) and moss/algal growth on terraces and driveways.
• Colour Enhancement: The application darkens the stone slightly (wet look) and enhances its natural colour, giving it a rich, well-maintained appearance.
• Durable Foot Traffic Resistance: The hard polymer film is designed to withstand light to medium foot traffic, making it ideal for patios, balconies, and driveways.

How to Apply Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold)

Maximum penetration and adhesion require clean, dry surfaces:

1. Surface Preparation (CRITICAL): Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of all dust, grease, wax, and fungus. Use a stiff brush or power wash. Efflorescence (salt deposits) must be removed with a diluted acid wash and neutralized.
2. Application: Apply the first coat of Indigo Stone & Tile Top Coat (Gold) uniformly using a brush or foam roller. Ensure the coating penetrates the pores fully.
3. Drying: Allow 4–6 hours for the first coat to dry completely.
4. Final Coat: Apply a second coat. For high-traffic areas, or if you desire a higher sheen, a third coat may be applied. Wait at least 24 hours before resuming foot traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this product suitable for glazed ceramic tiles?
A: No, this product is designed for highly porous surfaces (like natural stone, unglazed tiles, concrete). Glazed tiles are non-porous and generally do not require sealing.

Q: How often should I reapply the top coat?
A: Reapplication frequency depends on exposure and traffic, but typically every 3–4 years for medium-traffic exterior areas. Look for signs of dullness or reduced water beading.
