Darkening stone, tiles and grout
Many stone types show a different beauty when treated with colour-enhancing products. Generally this means a change to show a 'wet-look' finish, without affecting the texture of the stone. The enhanced finish is approximately two shades darker than its original colour.
Darkening treatments are particularly effective on darker-coloured natural stone (such as basalt or coloured marble) but can also be effective on tiles and grout. A small test area can determine the exact final colour that can be achieved.
Reverse fading
Darker-coloured natural stone that has been exposed to the sun can experience fading over time. This tends to make the surface look 'washed-out' and pale.
This treatment is not a colourant - it does not artificially colour the stone, it actually enhances and magnifies the natural colour of the stone. This means that it is possible to fully recover the stone's original natural colour and reverse all signs of fading.
Superior sealing
Surface Enhancement has the added benefit of incorporating one of the best-quality sealers around, giving optimum protection from future staining or other damage. To read about our other sealing options visit the Stain-Guarding page.
Darkening treatments are permanent
The colour change achieved from a Surface Enhancement treatment is virtually permanent, so it’s important to be sure about the wet look. For this reason, all clients will be shown how the finish will affect their surface on a small unobtrusive test area.
