National Sealing Co has developed a durable coating process to protect tile & grout. Let’s first make one thing clear – sealing grout is a waste of time and money. By comparison, our process is a durable, long lasting coating.

This application was an outdoor grill. The customer wanted to preserve the grout from the effects of the outdoors i.e. mildew, dirt, and grease from the food.  In addition, by protecting the surface it made it easier to clean, and germ free.

When using any sealer, the sealers penetrate the grout and cure below the surface; leaving the surface exposed. In addition, by definition, sealers are temporary. The area will have to be cleaned and then re-sealed approximately every 1.5 years. Our coating process is a multi-component process that includes hardeners. The coating cures on the top of the tile & grout, keeping the tile maintenance free while also protecting the surface of the grout.

A new apartment complex installed a travertine stone on the pool deck. The look was beautiful, however the stone is very smooth and tends to be slippery. National Sealing performs applications across the US with our durable coating process.

 Durable non slip applications require two components. First, what is the vehicle used to adhere to the surface. If a sealer is used, sealers are temporary and have to be reapplied annually. We apply our durable, multicomponent coating for long lasting results.

 The second part of the equation is; what is used as the anti slip media. Most will use a shark-type product readily available or even play sand. These products work, however, they are VERY brittle and soft, and do not last long. We have glass beads specifically manufactured for National Sealing.

We have performed this application all over the US, including Barbados and Belize.

This application was the entrance to a large commercial property with high public visibility. The owners wanted to rejuvenate the entrance without having to replace the badly faded pavers. These pavers had not been sealed on a consistent basis over the years and thus faded. The color had been reduced to approximately 20% of the original paver color.

National Sealing Co is the largest paver sealer in the country with over 2M square feet of pavers protected. We recognized a need to develop a faded paver restoration process for properties that had not protected the pavers for various reasons. Fading of pavers is a fatal conclusion to the lack of continued sealing of pavers. Currently, many of those properties now are faced with a dilemma of how to restore the pavers without having to replace them.

In the past, some properties actually tried to stain or paint pavers. The resulting painted or stained surface would look very cheap and unnatural, become slippery and would be highly susceptible to frequent re-application. This created a never ending problem and eventually would have to be stripped.

We have developed a penetrating dyeing process or paver re-coloring process for faded pavers. We match the original dyes used to color the pavers and can apply our process while keeping the personality of the various medley of colors intact.

Our process restores life back into tired, faded pavers and is a very economical solution versus the alternative of starting over. The result is an attractive, restored paver.  Contact Us Today!

A large condo had recently installed a smooth stone between the pool deck and resident bathrooms. The stone that was installed could not pass local officials slip test and the permits could not be finalized.

Many times, the local officials recommend National Sealing for our anti slip process. This is not a miracle process that one might purchase on the web, but rather a proven, durable non slip application.

Our coating process is a durable, multi-component process that includes a hardener. This is a more durable process than what a sealer might offer. Our process is applied by our trained professionals and is not sold. 

We’ve witnessed sealer processes that combine sealer with shaved plastic or ‘shark-type’ particles. This process is good – however a very temporary solution. The tops of the embedded plastic wears, and you’re left with just the sealer on the surface. This actually compounds the issue and actually makes the surface even more slippery. Our coating process combines small glass beads that are broadcast onto the surface and then ‘locked in’ with a top coat. The result is not only a durable coating, but a durable non slip aggregate as well.

Currently, we know of no other process that will match the durability and longevity of the coating process combined with our anti slip coating for stone, tile and marble.

National Sealing has crews that can mobilize for applications nationwide. Call today to get anti slip protection for your stone floors.

Non Slip Solution for High Traffic, Wet Areas

This was a anti slip application on a high traffic, stadium concession area. The constant wet surface caused by water, sodas, alcoholic beverages, as well as grease created a slippery surface and the employees had difficulty maintaining solid footing. National Sealing Co. has a unique approach to coating slippery surfaces such as ceramic tiles, commercial quarry tiles, porcelain tiles, marble, stone or any smooth surface. There are many do it yourself applications that we have tested over the years. These products require frequent re-application and the results are truly debatable.

The first part of the anti slip solution for tiles is what is used to adhere to the surface. National Sealing’s answer is our coating process. This is a very durable, multi-component coating that is applied to the surface. With ceramic, quarry, porcelain tiles which can have significant grout lines, this coating process serves a dual role; preserving the surface of the tile while also preserving the grout. This coating process forms a clear, hard barrier to make the surface easy to maintain as well as preserving the integrity of the tile.

Once the coating has been applied to the surface, we add our anti slip aggregate. In the past we used grip additives that were made of plastics. We found our coating was out lasting the grip additive. Today we have manufactured for National Sealing Co. small glass beads to take the place of the plastic media. We have found the glass beads to be much more durable because they become embedded, leaving the surface easier to clean, and the finish is of a higher quality.

Our anti slip coating produces a very durable, long lasting and very effective approach to slippery surfaces.

National Sealing Co has crews that can mobilize throughout the country for non slip applications.

A K-8 school recently had porcelain tiles installed. The inlay was a glass mosaic tile. The look was appealing, however, the glass tiles were in a children’s bathroom / locker room setting and very slippery. This was a clear safety hazard that needed to be handled.

National Sealing was contracted to apply a non slip application solution to reduce slip and fall incidents.

National Sealing Co is the largest paver sealer in the country with over 2 million square feet of pavers protected. We recognized a need to develop a coloring process for faded pavers. Fading of pavers is a fatal conclusion to the lack of continued sealing of pavers.

The goal was to RESTORE the pavers, or come as close as we could to a natural look. We wanted to avoid the STAINED or PAINTED look which would render an unnatural look, and an ongoing maintenance issue. For vehicular applications staining and painting tend to ‘lift’ with hot tires. Our dye penetrates the porous pavers.

For pavers with hues of various colors, the very small molecules in the dye combined with our customized application process will allow the various colors to still show.

Anti-Slip Coating on Porcelain Tile

This was an application in Los Angeles, California. A medical facility had a porcelain tile entrance that was slippery (wet) and even when dry.

Rather than replacing the tile, we were brought in to apply our durable anti slip application.

There are two important segments of an anti slip application. The first part to consider is the vehicle (sealer or coating) being used. Sealers by definition are temporary and typically will last 1 – 1.5 years before re-application.

The second factor to consider is the anti slip media that is added. By adding an aggregate of shaved plastic or even sand, those properties wear down very fast. You’re left with the sealer or coating making the surface more slippery than when you started.

We utilize a multi component durable coating. In scenarios that include grout, this coating process serves a dual role; preserving the surface of the tile, non slip, and also preserves the grout.

For the media, we have manufactured for National Sealing Co. small glass beads to take the place of the plastic media. We have found the glass beads to be much more durable, they become imbedded leaving the surface easier to clean, and the finish is of a higher quality.

Our anti slip produces a very durable, long lasting and very effective approach to slippery surfaces.

National Sealing Co has crews that can mobilize throughout the country for non slip applications.
