V-SEAL Expert 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's TK6 NanoCoat is 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.

Suggested Product Types:

Penetrating Sealers:
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.
