Color Enhancer Sealer for All-Natural Stone and Pavers. Marble, Travertine, Limestone, Granite, Slate, Concrete, Grout, Brick, Block. (1 Gallon)

Bought to seal a flagstone patio. I used a bug sprayer to apply the enhancer sealer and had every intention of using a telescoping paint roller to remove the excess, the removal was not necessary for my application. I needed two coats to completely seal the patio. The patio dried quickly, the enhancer provided a light wet look without being shiny or glossy. There was no discernible odor, but I was outdoors. After the second coat, the patio is water proof. This product is highly effective, easy to apply, and looks great. Instructions were easy to follow.

✨️I would totally purchase this product again. Product, sealant, worked as advertised! First I gently dusted the 1900s brick, applied mild, mild light application of an all natural cleaning solution to gently lift built up oils, but not saturate with a squeezed sponge. Followed all instructions and used the entire quart. I poured out modest amounts on a small hand held bowl then applied with a 3" painters brush, super soft! Color bloomed over dry time and clean up was a breeze! Used the whole quart for an average size fireplace with 3 bricked sides, top mantle brick and lower loading ledge brick, traditional construction. Quart size easiest to handle and I dabbed the excess off brush before each repeat brush application. This is old brick, not of the highest quality, but the sealant enriched the golds, tans, reds to rich terracottas in varying hues. I did not get the soft sheen, but I did not expect to with my brick at a fragile state: rough in many areas, etc... The improved color, depth and likely improved integrity is great to see, oh and super easy to apply✨️

I purchased this product when I noticed that after using my conditioner after cleaning, the floor (natural slate) seemed to dull out within a day. In the past, after cleaning/conditioning it would stay bright for weeks. Realizing that I had not sealed my slate floors since I installed them almost 20 years ago, I guess they were due. However, the conditioner does put a form of sealer on the stone - but just not a 'permanent sealer' - as this product is. If you are also using a conditioner and then use this product for a more permanent sealer, please note that unlike the conditioner, which you can walk on as soon as it dries (20 minutes or so), this is a true sealer and took over 24 hours before it was totally dry. It may leave footprints and feel tacky if you walk on it sooner. Considering the cost and not seeing much difference after it was done (see before and after photos) I was happy for that - because I do remember when I originally sealed the floor we could not walk on it for quite some time, and it looked beautiful for years. The 'before' photo was taken after a very thorough cleaning (hand scrubbing the grout, etc), hence, the difference is minimal. Look at the front tiles in the 'after' photo and you should be able to see where I stopped applying the sealer for the day. It is hard to determine from the photos, but it does have a nice slightly 'wet look glow' to it - compared to the unsealed stone. It has been several weeks since I have done this part of the floor and I can say it is retaining its glow very well. I held off from continuing with the rest of the floor only because of some of the reviews that stated that the sealer actually put a haze on the stone (!!) after a week. So I held off to be sure that would not be the case. It has been several weeks and that did not occur. These types of sealers appear to be very sensitive as to what it is applied to the floor (i.e., sealers or other products) before applying this product. I believe that may be why some reviewers may have experienced the haze. I was happy that the product did not react with the conditioner that I use about 4-5 times a year. I used foam brushes to apply the product and that worked very well. The only issue that I had not anticipated is that you must lightly wipe off the residue about 10 minutes after application (I used new microfiber cloths). Since you only have so much working room, I found it difficult when applying since I knew I would need to be able to reach the area 10 minutes later for wiping. That, and you must not let the sealer dry before wiping off the excess made the work flow limiting and took several hours to do this small room (about 6x6). The good news is that although I bought the gallon container based on the coverage, I thought the product went a long way so I'm not worried about running out. Overall, I'm happy that my floors look like new again and I suspect keeping it clean will be easier for quite a few years.

This amazing little product took my tiles, and I just installed on my backsplash in my kitchen from looking like a very chalky pale color to bringing out its natural array of Earth tones and took the chalkiness away. I only had a very small area to do so. I just brought bought the small sample size It worked fantastically, and it was exactly the amount that I needed. In the photo, the small piece of tile in the front is a extra piece i had left over that has not been sealed.You can see that its color is a lot paler than the color of the tile around it. The directions were easy to read and basically I painted the sealer on I did two coats.And the little bottle that I bought was perfect for covering the thirteen square feet that I had. I have just completed the backsplash, so I cannot say long term.How things will go?But for the time being, everything looks amazing.And I am very happy I believe this product needs to be reapplied occasionally.So I will end up buying the larger one in the future, but for the time being.This was what I needed, and it was perfect.Great value great product!

I purchased this product to alleviate the effects of light diffraction on the surface of agate and jasper mineral samples and pull out their real colors. Not only it does this very well but it also adds a flat, natural looking satin finish that I greatly prefer over the wet look.

Applying the product to our stamped, color conrete walkway, we're disappointed to discover that the sealer only offered marginal improvement. We spent fair a bit of time in preparation: - Step 1: Hand on knee, chiseled off weeds, dirt between gaps - Step 2: Hand on knee, brick by brick, brushed the dirt off the path way with a 12" brush - Step 3: Washed the path way with a garden hose - Step 4: Scrub the path way with soap using 7" brush - Step 5: Washed the path way again with a garden hose. My wife commented that the path way is cleaner than our kitchen floor. True. LOL. I took some pictures to track our progress to present to viewers, hoping they might be helpful in answering your questions - just as I was prior to the purchase. Pic 1: I put the first coat on up to the container. Hence the bottom is the unapplied section of our pathway. Pic 2: the close up look of Pic 1 Pic 3: I took this picture 3 hours later after the first coat. The improvement over our original path way looks rather marginal. I added the 2nd coat and but didn't have time to finish it before I had to leave. Pic 4: I took this pic the next day before completing the 2nd coat. Can you tell which section that requires the 2nd coat? Perhaps not. FYI: it's the last section is near the drive way. Pic 5: After 2nd coat, I added the 3rd coat to the section near the top to use up the sealer. You can see the lighter patch where I ran out sealer. This pic was taken right after the completion hence the wet look and deep color. Pic 6: I took this pic 6 hours later but the path way was still not dried. In the areas that were dried (see the top of the pic), the color became duller, and the path way looked more like when we started. Conclusion: Not sure if we expected too much but we felt this product only merits 2 stars. The fact that it provided little else (e.g. UV. protection, etc..) added to our disappointment. I suspected our path way would look better with 4 coats and would have tried that but we already ran out of the sealer. UPDATE: Pleased to report that, after two days, the path way looks better where 3 coats were applied (Pic 7, 8). Hence, we now gave it to 3 stars. Why not more? To really achieve the result we wanted, it'd likely take 4 coats and that's getting too expensive. UPDATE: September 1. All the shine and enhancer are now gone. My walkway is looking almost the same as before the product was put on. What a waste of money and time. I do not recommend this for outdoor use. Should have taken heed of the advices given by other reviewers.

Very easy to apply but waiting 10 minutes to dry excess with a towel and then 24 hours or so before walking on it resulted in having to do a 300 sq ft slate floor over several days. This was an enclosed porch and had lots of furniture that had to be moved around to apply material. However, the "enhancing" part is somewhat a question for me. The slate was mostly blue/grey in color. After applying, some pieces were a darker blue/gray but many others turned a dark green and some others black. While I assume the slate is sealed, the floor does not look at all what I expected after applying this material. Perhaps it was my slate and not sure how it may darken other stone material. As the directions state, test a small area before applying to entire area. I forgot to mention that I used this company's stone cleaner about a week or so before applying this material. Their cleaner did a super job and highly recommend it.

I had doubts that any product said to enhance the color of stone would have the natural, beautiful effect I was looking for. Going with the good reviews and q&a for this product, I purchased it. When I selected the stones for my hearth 12 years ago they were situated outdoors in a pile on a rainy day, and I loved their rich, earthy colors and textures, foolishly not realizing that the rich colors would not look so rich when the stones dried. And sure enough, when the hearth was installed, the now dry mostly-grey stones blended in with the grey mortar, and I lived with this very disappointing hearth (which was supposed to be the "heart" of my home) all these years. Rather than tear out the stones a few months ago, I decided to give this color enhancer a try figuring it was a small investment to make before going with a complete rebuild of the hearth. I'm so glad I did! What an amazing difference it made, bringing out all the natural colors of the stone as I had seen them on that rainy day, yet not adding any fake sheen. In the attached photo, stones on the right side of the stovepipe have been "painted" with the Color Enhancer. Stones on the left side of the pipe are not enhanced at this point. You can see the rich brown and red tones that have emerged on the right side. This product is extremely easy to use, goes on with a paintbrush...I used a finer brush to delineate the outline better. Color Enhancer Sealer is clear and does have a slight smell. For the ease of use and the low price, I find this to be a fantastic product that I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to give new life to what appear to be dull stones. It will bring out the true inner beauty of stone!

It really works on my stone floor and it last more than several months

had some dark blue concrete/ cement tiles put in the bathroom which started to go white and stained despite cleaning them regularly. in fact some of the cleaning products made it worse. i needed a product that would darken them back up as well as protect them. Easy to use and has done a brilliant job tiles are looking like when they were first laid. Very pleased with the result. Before and after pictures.

Looking to Re-New an older slate tile floor from everyday foot traffic. Black Diamond Stonework's Color Enhancer truly does make natural stone colors "Pop" giving that new floor look again. Easy to use product application & plan on using their floor wash product as maintenance . Will see how floors hold up for durability, but very happy with how they look Re-Newed with beautiful color again.

Works very well and so easy to use. I just put a sprayer nozle in the bottle. Sprayed the entire wall. Left it 10mins then went over it with a towel. You can put another coat on immediately. You don't have to wait which is great.

I was tempted to return this item but decided it was (just) worth the cost. I used it on slate which when washed and still wet was a beautiful orange and blue, this product doesn't bring out as much of the blue as I'd like but the orange is stunning and it seals against general dust and muck. I also used some large stone pieces for my raised flower bed borders, again when wet, were beautiful pinks, blues and greens, sadly this was not as effective on the rough surfaces and just darkened the stones rather than drawing out the colours. A hint for any user, avoid getting it on concrete. I tried to draw out the colours on two gateway pillars we'd built out of off-cut granite and limestone (in that rugged country style) and it makes the concrete stand out over the stone which was the opposite of what I wanted.
