Protection, mandatory impregnation, and maintenance (LTP or AKEMI)	Always clean natural stone with pH-neutral products only (LTP or AKEMI).

LTP Glaze Protector is designed for professional use for self-polishing. This product easily and successfully replaces acrylic lacquers. LTP Glaze Protector impregnates surfaces — once applied, it forms a micro-layer film that creates the impression of a freshly cleaned surface (wet effect), providing exceptional resistance to wear and stains. It can be used on any non-porous natural stone surfaces, as well as ceramic, porcelain tiles, and gres. The product requires no maintenance. It protects surfaces and enhances their condition.

Advantages of Glaze LTP Glaze Protector:

Resistant to heavy traffic, with minimal maintenance required.
Increased resistance to stains and wear.
Specifically designed for interior spaces.
Creates the effect of a freshly cleaned, polished surface.
Perfect for pale materials (slate, limestone, etc.).

Instructions for use:

For newly laid surfaces: Before application, surfaces must be completely dry and clean, free from cement and grout residues (see LTP Grout Stain Remover).
For old surfaces: Before use, clean and degrease the surfaces with Grimex, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the surfaces to dry completely (24 hours). If there is even a little moisture left in the grout, LTP Glaze Protector may form an opaque coating as it dries or may not reach its full hardness.

Intended only for interior use (avoid use in wet areas or shower cabins).

Application:

Apply with a soft cloth soaked in the product. To soak the cloth, pour the product into a separate container. Dip the cloth in the product and then wring it out. Fold the cloth in half and apply an even layer to the surface without rubbing. Repeat the application of layers until an even, thin coat is achieved (on average, 3 times). Allow to dry (1 hour). For a stronger shine, each subsequent layer should be applied perpendicular to the previous one (no more than 6 layers).
Do not apply excessive amounts to avoid unsightly build-up and/or reduced product efficiency. The applied product hardens in about an hour, but it takes another three days to reach its full hardness and water resistance. If you're unsure how to apply, first test on spare tiles to find the correct method and optimal number of layers. Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not use on rubberized surfaces.

Maintenance:

Regularly sweep the floor. Use a neutral pH universal cleaner like Florshine to clean and protect treated surfaces. If the impregnating layer wears off, apply more Glaze LTP Stone Lacquer in the affected areas. Occasionally, a complete renewal of the impregnating layer may be necessary. In such cases, use Grimex cleaner for thorough cleaning of all stone types to remove the previous impregnating layer before applying a new one. Avoid using strong cleaning agents on surfaces treated with LTP Glaze Protector.

Coverage: 1 liter = 30-40 sq.m (per layer), depending on the porosity of the surface.

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Store in a place where there is no risk of freezing. Avoid extreme temperatures. Avoid using strong cleaning agents on surfaces treated with Glaze LTP Stone Lacquer.

Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.

We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!

Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.

Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.

The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.

The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.

Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:

"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.

"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.

"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.

The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).

How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.

What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.

How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?

In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.

First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).

Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.

Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.

For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.

The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.

The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.

In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)

Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
