CoverTecGlazeGuard Satin (Sample) Ceramic & Porcelain Tile, Grout Sealer Satin Finish (4 oz Sample Kit)

So I bought this fun, playful, peel and stick tile with stone composite surface on Wayfair. The pictures depicted it on the floor, with furniture on top, so I assumed it was, um, floorsafe. Big mistake. When it arrived, the surface seemed really fragile, so I read the small print, and it said suitable only for walls. Yikes! It was going to be too hard to try to return it (had, like, 20 individual boxes) and we needed tile pronto in this bathroom. “How bad could it be?” my partner asked. (Spoiler: very bad.) I installed the tile and grouted between, for looks and strength. It looked great, but, predictably, the tile picked up nicks and scratches from even light activity. I started to panic. Asked at Lowes if they had any product to super-seal the surface of crappy tile, making it unscratchable, and they said no one makes that. I searched the internet, and found this stuff being used in industrial settings like kitchens in restaurants. Decided to try it in a last-ditch effort. Wow. The surface isn’t perfect (probably part user error) (even a little dust can easily make it less even), but it sealed the hell out of my bad tile decisions. The floor has taken not a single new scratch or nick. Problem solved. I am amazed and grateful. Pretty simple to apply, and it totally did the trick. If only all my foolish decisions were so easily remedied!

I used this product on a newly installed porcelain tile floor in order to match the finish on the floor in butted up against. I went with the semi gloss after looking at photos on Amazon and the company website but it dried more like a high gloss and did not match. This product works as indicated and looked great it just didn't match so I chose to remove it. It adhered to the floor so well that after trying to remove myself I had to have a professional come in, it wasn't easy. What was easy was dealing with the owner of the company. After sending him pictures of my job and explaining my issue this extremely understanding and polite owner agreed to issue a complete refund for the products I used and assist with the cost of removal, unprecedented customer service! I would absolutely purchase this product again, it really works well and the company that makes it is aces!

I just had my family room/kitchen retiled in a beautiful 2x2 porcelain tile. The finish of the tile though was very matte like and we decided to get a glossy seal, for protection and looks. Settled on this product. Watched videos, read reviews for tips, read paperwork. Preparation to make everything absolutely clean and make sure you only clean with water.When you apply this, it goes on as a wet look, then turns a hazy white pretty fast. The problem is that unless your apply exactly the same amount of product everywhere, it looks streaky, and my floor now doe slook very streaky where in some places there is thicker amount of product than others.When i applied, i did exactly as instructed, had someone go around edges with microfiber mini roller, as i applied with full sized microfiber roller. Loading up the roller and rolling off excess before applying. rolling into groutlines then the rest of the tile as i worked 4 2x2 tiles at a time. The result is everything is the same wet and shiny, goes glazy white, but then 12 hours later incredibly streaky. You cannot see where you put more product than elsewhere until its too late.How you can get this right i do no know, as you cannot just apply a second coat like you would if you were painting. First you have to sand everything and cleanup. Sanding 400 sq feet !Now i will have to get a professional in to fix this.UPDATE: I was a little hasty in my original review. Yes it is not so easy to work with, but i was working too fast when applying to my floor, as i was concerned that the product gets sticky on the roller too quickly. Result was i didnt apply enough product in many places. I took the trouble to sand a 4x4 area of tiles down lightly as directed, and reapplied, this time taking time and ensuring everything was nicely covered. Came out very sweet. Course, i now have to sand down the other 290 sq feet and buy some more product. Also its totally a 2 person job, one does the edges right before you then roll over and blend with the edge as you go round.UPDATE: 7 months after i did this, the grout in most places is black and no easier to clean that if it were unsealed. But disconcertingly in a few high traffic areas, small spots have, i assume, peeled off because there is no product in a couple of tiny areas heavily travelled. I can only assume this will get worse over time.

I have tried everything to prevent my porcelain tile from getting stained and nothing ever worked until I used this sealer. It solved all my problems! No more scrubbing with abrasive cleansers and pressure-washing--all it needs is a damp mop to clean up. The floor looks good even with four large dogs tracking in mud and dirt everyday. Plus the application is really easy! I also appreciate that it is water-based for easy clean-up, and has low VOCs so you're not breathing in toxic fumes. Great product--the only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because I expected the satin finish to have a more subtle sheen--but the finish is actually very glossy and wet looking. The sealer will make the grout darker as it said it would, so I wish I had touched it up with a much lighter grout before sealing. Overall very happy!

Follow the easy instruction, this sealant does a perfect job for my new porcelain tiles which have sandy type surface and easy to absorb the dirt (particularly fluid type drops) to keep the tile surface shining and easy to clean. The CoverTec service team also responded all questions in timely manner.

We used the GlazeGuard satin a couple weeks ago to seal our slate fireplace hearth and surround. It helped to take away the damage caused by water, and has given it a nice clean-looking shine. It looks like new again! I also used it on an extra bamboo floor plank to see if it would give it some shine, and it did! I don't think this GlazeGuard is designed to be used for click lock engineered bamboo flooring, but the one piece of wood looked nice when I was done. I love some shine to my floors, and these trendy matte finish hardwood floors take some adjustment. It worked great for the slate!
