Encaustic Cement Tile Sealers
Recommendations:
Encaustic Cement Tiles have rapidly gained popularity worldwide and can be seen in high-profile venues, such as the Four Seasons Hotel (Budapest). Proper sealing is critical in order to protect these tiles from freeze/thaw damage and stains. V‑SEAL concrete sealers such as TK6 NanoCoat and Industra-Coat 3520 (matte and gloss kits available) are specifically engineered for encaustic cement tile, integrating seamlessly into the installation process and providing long-lasting protection.
For Residential applications, we recommend one coat of TK6 NanoCoat as a grout release and one coat of TK6 NanoCoat after cleaning excess grout off the surface. For Commercial applications, we recommend an additional coat of Industra-Coat 3520 Water Based Urethane.
Crystallize minerals in the substrate just below the surface. V-SEAL offers sealers that are hydrophobic and oleophobic.
Topical Sealers:Form a membrane layer over the substrate surface adding protection from moisture stains, chemicals, grease, gas, oils, and adding decorative elements such as high shine or color.
