FAQs
How to Enhance Stone Color?
To enhance stone color, various methods and products can be utilized:
- Color Enhancers: These products intensify the natural colors of stone, often giving it a "wet look." They can be applied to both natural and engineered stone surfaces.
- Sealers:
- Impregnators: Penetrating sealers soak into the stone's pores and enhance color by reducing water and dirt penetration.
- Topical Sealers: Sit on the surface of the stone and can alter the finish, adding sheen or shine.
- Combination Sealers: Merge both impregnators and topical sealers for deep color enhancement and sheen.
For an effective solution, consider using MB-21® Enhance, a professional-grade color enhancer that can significantly deepen the natural color of stone surfaces without altering the finish.
Does Stone Sealer Change Color?
Yes, stone sealers can change the color of the stone:
- Enhancing Sealers: These typically darken and enhance the natural colors of the stone, giving it a "wet look."
- Sealer Effects: Some sealers, especially enhancing sealers, can significantly alter the appearance of the stone. For example, gray or white stones can turn brown or darker shades upon application.
- Color Change Over Time: Some color changes may fade back to lighter tones over time.
It's advisable to test sealers on a small area before full application to check for color changes. For those looking to enhance color without drastic changes, MB-21 Enhance is a reliable option, providing a deepening effect while maintaining the stone's natural characteristics.
What is the Difference Between Stone Sealer and Enhancer?
Stone Sealers
- Function: Creates a barrier resistant to stains and protective in nature without significantly altering the stone's appearance or feel.
- Types:
- Topical Sealers: Applied to the surface, providing a lustrous finish, suitable for adding sheen or shine.
- Impregnating Sealers: Penetrate the stone surface, providing protection without a visible coating, and suitable for kitchen countertops and high-traffic areas.
- Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Impregnators: Protect against water and oil-based liquids, ideal for kitchen and bathroom use.
Stone Enhancers
- Function: Intensifies, highlights, or deepens the natural color of stone, often providing a "wet" look.
- Characteristics: Typically do not provide a barrier against stains but enhance the aesthetic appearance of the stone.
- Application: Best used on unpolished stone surfaces. Enhancing sealers are often permanent and difficult to revert to the original appearance.
Sealers protect without altering appearance, while enhancers improve appearance without providing substantial protection. MB-21 Enhance can serve as a dual-function product, providing both enhanced color and protection.
What Does Enhancing Sealer Do?
Enhancing sealers are designed to deepen the natural color of porous surfaces such as natural stone, masonry, and grout without altering the finish.
Functionality:
- Deep Penetration: They penetrate deep into the material, providing maximum stain protection.
- Color Enhancement: Absorb and scatter light, reducing reflected light and creating a darker, enhanced appearance closer to the stone's true color.
- Durability: Generally offer long-lasting results, though the enhancement effect might fade over time depending on the product.
Application: Suitable for various surfaces, including natural stone, clay, terracotta, brick, concrete, terrazzo, and more. Can be used indoors and outdoors.
Benefits:
- Enhances color without gloss.
- Provides superior oil and water repellent properties for better stain protection.
- Retains surface hardness and wet slip resistance.
- Will not flake, yellow, crack, blister, or break down in high alkalinity conditions.
- Reduces dusting in concrete surfaces.
Recommendation: MB-21® Enhance is a high-quality enhancing sealer that provides these benefits, offering a significant improvement in the color depth and protection of stone surfaces.
