STONE CARE & REPAIR

Specialist Products Dedicated To Caring & Repairing Stone

As well as liquid coatings that protect and seal, we have a range of non-staining, natural stone silicone sealants in an extensive range of colours.

What's The Difference?

Stone Care & Repair Materials Explained...

Urethane Pre Polymer Resin
Used extensively in waterproofing and flooring protection, urethane-based resins are normally associated with the glazed or wet look finish, giving the surface sealed an enclosed, encased type of coating. Highly efficient for sealing many types of surface, and effective for dust proofing, waterproofing, abrasion resistance and general protection, urethane polymer resins are quite hazardous by nature and usually have very strong odours associated with them, which is not ideal for all situations.

Solvent-Free Sealers
With health and safety more prevalent than ever, the idea of using pungent smelling, hazardous, sticky resin sealers is often not even an option. As an alternative to these standard resin sealer coatings, we have a selection of solvent-free, non-hazardous sealing products in ready-to-use tubs that can be brushed or rollered on to paths, patios and driveways. Our solvent free sealers are breathable and trap moisture under the surface (a consistent problem with harsh solvent products). Coats are applied as per the individuals preference for a finish.

Non-Staining Silicone
Due to the reaction with the cure systems in many mastic sealants causing staining, sealing joints in natural stone and other porous & non-porous natural materials can be problematic! The spread of oils and plasticisers used in many common low mod & high mod sealants cause migratory staining (or ‘leeching’ as its sometimes known,) into and onto the stone surface and edges not only looks very unsightly but also cases harm to the stone itself! This issue is often over-looked by DIY people when they seal their own natural stone joints, but it’s also more common than you’d expect from trade professionals too, due too lack of knowledge or sometimes lack of care 🙁 We have a huge range of only the highest quality non-staining mastic sealants that guarantee not to bleed into the natural stone or cause unslightly migratory staining that standard silicone sealants usually cause!

The best way to determine product choice is by deciding on what it's used for

Stone Care & Repair By Application

Block Paving Sealers
Due to it’s durability, versatility and excellent water permeating qualities, block paving has long been the choice for paths, driveways, walkways and standing areas in residential, commercial and even industrial situations. Sealing the block paving is always a good idea for a number of reasons including enhancing the appearance of the stones. There’s a few different types of block paving sealers available and we carry a good amount of stock of all these materials.

Coatings & Specialist Paints
To coat a surface, either walls, ceilings or floors, a regular paint will often not quite cut the mustard and thus a specialist coating or specialist paint is required.

Patio Paving Sealer Products
Usually associated with back gardens living areas, patio paving has become the norm for a huge percentage of homeowners. With attractive natural stones such as Indian Sandstone, Flagstone, Limestone, Granite and Basalt making up most of the list. Sealing patio paving is a great idea for protection, longevity, maintenance and general aesthetics. The materials used for patio pave stones range from resin coatings which can darken or enhance the look and/or give shiny finishes on the paving, to solvent free products that are more gentle in appearance and work by soaking into the stone whilst allowing it to breathe still.

Stone Cleaners
Usually associated with internal sealing of such applications as sanitary ware in bathrooms, shower rooms & wet rooms etc. as well as, countertops, sinks & units etc. in kitchens and other food areas, high modulus products are less able to accommodate movement compared to low modulus sealants, but will make a stiffer and more rigid final seal. The high modulus products tend to withstand repeated cleaning more efficiently than the softer more flexible low modulus ones. High modulus (or HM as it’s known)

Sealants For Natural Stone
Sealing joints in natural stone externally such as marble, granite, limestone, sandstone and other porous & non-porous natural stone can be problematic due to the reaction with the cure systems in many mastic sealants. The spread of oils, causing migratory staining or ‘leeching’ as its sometimes known, into and onto the stone surface and edges not only looks very unsightly but also cases harm to the stone itself! This issue is often over-looked by DIY people when they seal their own natural stone joints, but it’s also more common than you’d expect from trade professionals too, due too lack of knowledge or sometimes lack of care 🙁 We have a huge range of only the highest quality natural stone mastic sealants that guarantee not to bleed into the natural stone or cause unslightly migratory staining that standard silicone sealants usually cause!

Bonda Glass Voss (Rustins)

BONDAGLASS-VOSS LTD. IS NOW OWNED AND OPERATED BY RUSTINS

In the early 1960s Bondaglass was a leading brand of polyester fillers for vehicle repair and polyester resins for laminating with glass fibre. In those days the polyester filler was supplied as three products, a filler powder and resin to mix together to form a paste “the good old days.” Bondaglass also introduced Bonda Rust Primer, an anti-corrosion primer. This became a leading anti-rust product and is still highly respected by the car restorer. Of its type it is among the best on the market. Other products were glass fibre for use in repairing cars, boats and many other articles around the home. In 1973 Bondaglass joined with Vosschemie, a manufacture of similar quality products in Germany and throughout Europe. Bondaglass -Voss was founded. Vosschemie expertise allowed Bondaglass to make further progress with polyester filler quality and introduce a more extensive range particularly for the car body repair industry.
