Sandstone Stain Protection Case Study from Dry-Treat

Residential Complex in Pyrmont, Sydney

THE PROJECT:

For a residential complex in a premium Sydney area, maintenance of the public area is something that needs to be considered. The client wanted to make sure that the sandstone surfaces in the property are easier to maintain. Simon Bailey from Bailey Trade Services was then given the task to seal 640 sqm (approx. 6400 sq. ft.) of sandstone external walls, and around the pool.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

- Premium stain protection
- Sealed surfaces should be easier to maintain and clean.
- Permanent sealer - no need to reseal
- Material must maintain breathability to minimise water damage
- Does not alter the natural look of the surface
- Does not alter the slip resistance of the surface.

THE DRY-TREAT SOLUTION:

For this project, Simon assessed the sandstone blocks that were installed and it was one of the harder specimen of sandstone. Considering the large area of the job, the environment, the pools chlorination system, and ease of application, Simon decided to use STAIN-PROOF Original™, Dry-Treat's premium, permanent, invisible impregnating sealer.
