THE PROJECT:

A large supermarket chain was in the process of opening a new store in Sydney’s exclusive suburb of Double Bay. The grocery store would supply the local area with local fresh produce and gourmet food in a modern, deli-style surrounding. Key to creating this ambience was the use of sandstone cladstone walls in the cheese room. The natural stone enhanced the area but was vulnerable to staining. An impregnating sealer was needed to ensure the sandstone walls remained in excellent condition.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Superior protection from stains
• Treated surface must stay cleaner and looking good for longer
• Sealer must retain the natural look of the surface
• Treated surface must stand up to cleaning processes
  
  

THE STAIN-PROOF^® SOLUTION: 

The modern supermarket was designed to offer residents a contemporary shopping experience. The elegant sandstone walls frame the walk-in cheese room, a major aesthetic feature of the new store. The area surrounding the natural stone will be designated for food prep and display which means the sandstone cladstone is likely to be repeatedly stained. The protection applied could not alter the original look of the stone and had to withstand commercial cleaning techniques.

For these reasons STAIN-PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer, formerly known as STAIN-PROOF Original™, was chosen for the project. Its superior penetration and water and oil repellency will stop water, food and liquid spills from causing permanent staining. Premium Impregnating Sealer permanently bonds to the material through a chemical reaction deep inside the pores where it is not affected by commercial cleaning processes. The sealer also retains the natural look of a surface. Premium Impregnating Sealer comes with a 15-year performance warranty when the product is applied by a STAIN-PROOF Accredited Applicator.
