National Sealing has crews that can mobilize throughout the country for anti-slip solutions. For large commercial properties, protection against the risk of slips and the litigation that results from slip-and-fall accidents is paramount. Many do-it-yourself applications are very temporary, and their effectiveness is truly debatable. We have developed a highly durable, long-lasting approach to anti-slip…

In large commercial kitchens, quarry tile is typically the flooring surface of choice. With the installation of quarry tile, large grout lines are also present. This becomes unsightly very fast. We have developed a more durable solution for sealing tile grout. When grout is sealed, the sealer penetrates the grout, leaving the surface exposed. Our coating…

This large condo had sure vehicular pavers that were cracked and needed to be replaced. However, they were unable to locate the original (darker) pavers installed initially. This was the main entrance and was unsightly. We proposed our paver staining or dyeing process (see photo comparison). This is not a painted solution, which would not…

Pavers around a pool deck must be sealed. Many commercial properties seal the entrance pavers to prevent oil stains, but not the pool deck. Pool decks, however, are exposed to similar products – and oils. In addition, there are pool chemicals, not to mention body oils. Pavers also fade very rapidly and must be protected.…

There is a lot of misinformation regarding the concept of sealing grout lines. When someone says they want to seal tile grout, what they are saying in effect is; we want to keep the grout looking new. Light colored grout is chosen to match porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles, and the goal is to have…

We have developed a coloring process for staining faded, washed-out pavers. If brick pavers have not been maintained or sealed to preserve the coloring in brick pavers, they fade over time. Other than painting the pavers, which results in an unappealing, slippery surface, the options are very limited. After many years of experimentation, we have…
