Is true, many complains on dullness of quartz surfaces. Another method is to have them diamond polished (the cash system e.g.) to achieve the original look.
@MARBLEDOCTORS Just because it's man made doesn't mean it doesn't stain. They are experiencing staining issues especially with honed countertops. We've been sealing man made stones for 9 years and I think most would prefer a sealer than the hastle of it being diamond polished. We get calls from sales people selling quartz countertops that the customer wants what we do. Especially the black countertops. They want it blacker and shinier. Just like with Absolute Black granite they want it blacker.
Again and I repeat, cesar stone is a man made surface, and does not required any sealing. I came from a third generation of a family business dealing from the quarry to final installation, and been a member of the MIA since 1990. When we quarry slabs of granite back in Brazil in my grandfather quarry we know by dealing with each color witch materials does and doesn't require any sealing application. I would be curious to see a sample of your chemical in some very porous materials eg.Madreperola
@MARBLEDOCTORS Then don't seal CaesarStone. We get many requests from customers that do want it sealed so it's a deeper enhanced color and want it shinier. Our sealers have no problem penetrating CaesarStone, SileStone, Granite Transformation. If we couldn't penetrate the stone then the water wouldn't be drawing a line and going on the unsealed side.
@MARBLEDOCTORS Granite Shield makes their own chemicals and your way is not how to use our chemicals. Our chemicals catalyze with each other and they don't need to be left on the stone very long and they are a permanent lifetime sealer.
Is your product a sealer or an enhancer? Your process application also is very weird. The proper way to seal a stone is to apply with a small painter roller so it wont splash over other unintended places, and let the stone absolve the sealer for a good while until you see its all gone, when you instantly wipe the stone all you doing is to take the sealer off. Plus Cesar stone its a man made material made to be non porous and accordingly to their website does not required any sealing process.
@MARBLEDOCTORS No enhancer was not used. We can make CaesarStone more enhanced in color, more repellent and shinier. Some people prefer their CaesarStone enhanced, more repellent and shinier than how it originally is. No your method of sealing is weird. We have been sealing this way since 2002. We've sealed many CaesarStone countertops and CaesarStone has called us to seal several of their customers countertops and we have also met some of their head people that flew from Israel to meet with us
@graniteshield I think you got a little defensive with no reason. I was just trying to understand how a sealer works as an enhancer, and even better on cesarstone that accordingly to its maker does not require any sealing. When it comes to the application method we learn to use a small painter roller because it avoids splashing sealer on other areas of the kitchen and allows the stone to absolve the sealer properly, but as you said maybe you have a different approach with your own chemicals.
@MARBLEDOCTORS A paint roller would not work with our sealers. Very little chemical is needed so you'd be wasting the chemical. Less than 1 oz. can seal 40 sq. ft. It is better to use a gloved hand to spread the sealer. In the case of man made countertops many complain that over a period of time the countertop becomes dull, lifeless and they want to enhance the color and make it shinier. Many prefer the fact we can make it more repellent than the manufacturer and shinier so why not do it?
