SEALERS

Aqua Mix® Grout Sealer is an easy to use premium, no sheen, natural look, water-based sealer that resists water, oil, and acid-based contaminants.

WHY SEAL?

When a liquid is spilt on a stone, tile or grout surface that has a degree of water absorption, a stain can result almost instantly as the reaction time to clean is short to zero! Sealing these same stone, tile or grout surfaces significantly reduces the degree of water absorption increasing the reaction time to clean and remove these contaminants before a stain can occur. Good sealers have reaction times measured in minutes, protecting the surface from primarily water based contaminants. The best or premium sealers have the longest reaction time measured in hours protecting surfaces from the widest range of contaminants both water and oil based

Enhancing Sealers

Aqua Mix Enhancing Sealers are penetrating / impregnating sealers, and are suitable for internal and external use. Unlike Natural Look Sealers, these will change the appearance of the surface. Enhancing Sealers highlight the natural characteristics of the stone without creating a gloss or shine. They contain active sealing molecules that penetrate and bond within the stone’s surface. These active ingredients, fill gaps and line the pore structures of the stone, tile or grout. What doesn’t penetrate the surface gets wiped away. They will not alter the slip resistance, peel, yellow or flake.

Having the capability to fabricate ourselves will not only improve quality control but scheduling as well. Please keep reading below for our Countertop Guidelines. 

Countertop Guidelines

Whether you’re looking into remodeling, expanding, or building a home we want the process to go as smooth as possible. Here is a guideline of the procedure on acquiring a quote with us for countertops.

Step 1-  Selecting a stone for you.  

Their are multiple materials to select from when choosing your countertop. Such as Quartz, Granite, Quartzite, Marble, Etc. Each material will provide you with different color, movement, and feel. Depending on what catches your eye. 

Step 2- Setting up consultation with one of our Specialists. 

Any questions you have regarding the stone, installation, or cost per square foot will be discussed at this time. If needed a measurement can be done with one of the specialists in order to get an accurate quote. 

Step 3- Scheduling a Template

If quote is accepted one of our countertop specialists will schedule a day to go out to the home and measure the designated area where the countertop will be installed. After taking down all measurements your specialist will reach out with a date of installation. 

Step 4- Deposit

50% of the payment is required to order the slab, then the remaining 50% will be required upon completion. (40% of the payment will be required prior to the install and the remaining 10% will be required upon completion of the job, each job varies on the timeline of completion.

Step 5- Final Walk Through 

Once the countertop has been installed the specialist will do a final walk through. Our specialists will thoroughly examine the installed areas to make sure the customer is satisfied with the completion of the install.
