GlazeGuard Gloss Floor Sealer Wall Sealer for Ceramic, Porcelain, Stone Tile Surfaces (2 Part Kit A+B Combined = 1 Gal)

This was very easy to apply. You do have to really read and follow the directions. Once dry and cured it really looks amazing. I bought a quart and was able to do my entryway, and 2 bathrooms. I will be purchasing again so I can do the entire downstairs. Amazing results!!

It’s works really well, read the instructions BEFORE

We had faience tiles on our fireplace. Faience is similar to ceramic tile and is usually brightly glazed.Prior owners had painted over the tiles. We wanted to restore it. After removing the paint, it was clear that the original tile had lost its glaze. Our tile had no shine and looked sad. I googled a ton of solutions and landed on this one CoverTec. Our fireplace looks great now, with a perfect amount of shine. This looks like new tiles. I was worried it would be too shiny, but with one coat, it was just perfect. We had a great experience with the ordering and the application. We did order a sample first to check it out. The availability of the sample size is a great thing. Well done to the people behind this product!

Let me start by saying, we absolutely love the way this product looks- it seems to be very durable and gives that nice "wet" look- like others, when we have had friends over, they asked if the tile was safe to walk on! We were a little concerned with how slippery the finish would be underfoot, but it is absolutely not a concern. Easy to clean, and made the grout look like the company said it should from the start (It lightened up several shades after it initially dried). Makes cleaning the grout a snap as well- much, much better than a standalone grout sealer when I've used in the past.There is a learning curve for application- you'll need to plan out your time carefully, especially if it's getting applied in an area like a kitchen and main room like we did, as it takes 12 hours+ to cure. That time is absolutely impacted by temperature, so if you have your furnace set to go down lower than that in the winter overnight, you could wake up to the floors still being tacky in the morning like we did. Fortunately it wasn't a bit deal and walking on it didn't leave permanent marks.Make sure you have really good lighting when you apply it- which can be a challenge at night if you're trying to do it before bed- our initial pass had a few spots that we missed- and be meticulous about things like dog hair- we vaccumed and mopped, but still have a few floaters that wound up here and there- we're the only ones that notice, but still.If you do have spots you missed, be sure to sand the whole tile when you are re-applying- turns out far better. We tried the 400 grit at first that the seller recommended when I called him, but it didn't make much of a dent. Did some reading on their website and saw that 150 grit would work as well, and found that to be a much faster and better solution- makes it look hazy obviously, but when you apply the new coat it shines right back up.We'd absolutely do it again- really, really good product. Hopefully it holds up for years to come.

After putting the sealer down, I poured the remaining sealer from the paint tray into the original bottle. I left it on the floor and planned to dispose of it the next morning. While sitting in my office checking email the next morning, I heard a loud explosion. I ran into the kitchen to see what happen. The bottle was on the other side of the room with the bottom blown out. All of the stainless steel appliances and counter tops in the kitchen were covered with sealer. Also, the newly sealed floor was covered with spots.I wished the instructions had mentioned the risk of explosion when the mixed chemicals are put back in the bottle. The porcelain tile floor looked really good before the sealer shower. But now it looks bad with all the spots. I'm not sure what to do about it. I guess I will have to sand it and do it again?Update: Customer service is excellent. They contacted me, discussed the problem and offered remedy.

I hadn’t seen to many before pictures on what this product can do. I ordered the sample to try it and just wow!! I used the glossy glaze.The first pic is of my new porcelain tile. I was hoping I could get it to look permanent “wet” as it had more deep colors and designs in it. However porcelain is not very porous so I new it would be an interesting want on my part.This product did just that. The second photo is right after I applied the second coat to have a more even look so you can see the back is glossy and the front is a little milky (it will dry).Not sure how long this will last but even if I have to redo it in 5 years it is worth it!!Helpful hint, I ordered the quart size and painted it on with a roller. I ordered 2 bottles so I could do a second coat because the product is use it or lose it within about an hour. One bottle covered about 275sq ft with ease.

After following instructions carefully while applying this finish, the outcome was, "ok", but certainly not a smooth finish as expected. Within 9 months my floor looks horrible. The finish is pealing, looks splotchy and has a yellowish haze where the finish hasn't already peeled up.UPDATE: still attempting to get this finish off my floor. After talking to flooring specialist, they agree that this product has ruined my tile floors and chances are I will need to remove and replace 1700 sq ft of tile flooring. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
