Black Limestone Restorer

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 3 customer ratings
(3 customer reviews)

Black Limestone Restorer is for restoring the colour to worn and acid damaged black limestone patios and pavers. This product can also be applied to newly laid slabs or pavers to obtain the maximum depth of colour. This product most closely replicates the effect of wetting the surface of your limestone with water, but dries to a natural matt finish. Sometimes known as a wet look finish but in this case drying to a natural matt finish. It is also breathable, unlike all other shiny wet look finishes, therefore does not need stripping off before reapplication in the future.

We recommend contacting us about the application method of this product. If you have acid damaged your black limestone please call for help and advice!

Product details

Black Limestone Restorer has been developed specifically to restore the colour of black limestone surfaces. Black Limestone Restorer will return the floor back to black more effectively than other restorers. This product is highly effective at restoring grey washed out or worn black limestone’s. This black limestone sealer can also be applied to newly laid black limestone slabs and pavers to obtain the maximum depth in colour.

It is very effective at correcting the colour to acid damaged black limestone due its dual purpose formula. It is both a high quality impregnating sealer and colour intensifier. The solution is easy to apply and will dry rapidly.

Black Limestone Restorer has been specifically formulated for restoring weathered, worn and tired black limestone slabs, patios and pavers. It will also effectively reverse the effect of accidental damage caused by using acid based cement and grout residue removers. This product will return your limestone to a deep black.

Acid damaged black limestone will become very patchy and grey and look unattractive. Colour enhancers are used on porous surfaces particularly on natural stone to deepen the colour of the stone. On black limestones an enhancer will simply deepen the colour it does not alter the colour of the pointing.

You may only need one application to deepen the colour of you black limestone tiles or pavers. This product is an impregnator so it penetrates the surface of the stone. All excess is to be removed so the surface of the stone is left will a natural appearance. This product is not designed to create a shiny unnatural finish.

This product is totally breathable so allows full moisture vapour transmission. This product will not cause moisture clouding issues associated with non breathable topical sealers.

As with all colour enhancers never apply to damp stone or in damp generally damp conditions. Always remove the excess with lint free cloths. We recommend a roller or paint pad is the most effective way of applying this product.

When applying this product we recommend working in areas of around 5m2 at a time, preferably less. This makes the sealing process easier than trying to cover large areas all at once.

If you have used a brushed in jointing compound we recommend using  our Jointing Compound Residue Remover. This will dissolve the resinous fine residue left on either side of the joint and is a non acidic solution. If this residue is not fully removed it can cure to a lighter colour than the surrounding stone. You may be able to remove light residue from jointing compound by using a pressure washer.

If you require help choosing a sealer or cleaning product please feel free to contact us on (01484) 686270 or email us at [email protected]

Available in 1L and 5L containers.

Directions of use

Apply with a roller or paint pad in dry cool conditions. Do not apply to damp stone or if it is likely to rain with 12 hours of applying the sealer.

You will probably only require one application of this product as it is a powerful enhancer. Remove the excess before it dries, we recommend doing this within a few minutes of application. The level of excess depends on the porosity of the stone.

Seal in small patches of around 5m2 or less until you are comfortable with the process. Sealing in smaller patches is often quicker than taking on larger areas all at once. It also stops the potential issue of excess product drying on the surface.

Coverage

Coverage is determined by the general porosity of the stone. As an average around 15m2 per litre for a single application, you may achieve slightly more than this.

    Ksmith –

    Our tiler cleaned our new black limestone with acid. I went to many places and all products just made it worse. I thought I would need to take it up but spoke to floorseal and the customer service was excellent. He outlined a plan which included this product and the floor is restored! Thank you!

    A geeat product which has transformed my limestone paving. It looks really good, with a darker colour as though it is wet, very happy with the result.
    In addition we had excellent customer service, with a call to explain the treatment process, well done Floorseal. I would happily recommend you to others.

    Brilliant customer service, the gentleman the was in the end of the phone was very informative, most helpful and his advice paid off! Our patio looks fabulous! And even though my husband was sceptical that we wouldn’t have enough solution i explained that the gentle said we would and didn’t try and upsell another litre, and true to the mans word we had more than enough!

Frequently asked questions

Yes it is an impregnator so allows full water vapour transmission.

No, this product both seals and colour enhances the surface.

It soaks into the limestone and deepens the colour. It also contains a sealer to inhibit water and oil staining. This product is a particularly strong enhancer & sealer.

Because the product is designed to sit within the surface of the stone. This product will leave the surface of the stone looking as natural as possible. Work in small patches to make excess removal easier.

No, it has a flat matt natural colour enhanced finish. It cannot create a sheen as it is contained within the structure of the stone. If you have a sheen when finished the application process  you have not fully removed the excess.

Use our Jointing Compound Residue Remover. We recommend all black limestones are cleaned with this product if you have used a brush in style jointing compound.

No, it is acid sensitive and you will etch the surface causing light cloudy patches all over the surface.

Ring us! This product will correct acid damage but possibly requires a pre-treatment.

Black limestone is more of a deep grey than black. Weathering, including slightly acidic rain water will slowly turn it to a washed out grey colour. Use Black Limestone Restorer to deepen the colour.

Yes it can be used on sandstone and slate with care. Contact us if you are planning to do this.

Do not use water to remove it!! You could use an acetone to remove the excess before it cures. It should go flat matt once removed.

Yes, strong colour enhancers will most closely replicate the effect of wetting your black limestone with water. It will dry to a flat matt as the product soaks into the limestone, becoming meshed into the surface layers. Black Limestone Restorer leaves a natural finish with a much deeper colour.

As a general rule no. If you have used an acrylic style top coat sealer you will need to strip it off first. Water based acrylics are easier to strip than solvent based acrylics (which are usually contained in a metal tin).

If you have recently applied a breathable impregnator you will have to thoroughly clean the surface of the stone. If it was applied a few years ago we would still recommend thoroughly cleaning the limestone first. This could be with an alkaline cleaning agent or possibly a solvent based product.

Please contact us regarding this process.
