Stone Armor Durability?

How long will an application of Stone Armor last before you have to re-seal?

Hi Gearup

3 to 5 years in most applications.

What are you sealing? Where is it located? Will proper cleaning procedures be followed?

How the surface is maintained, and how much traffic it sees will dictate the resealing schedule. Aggressive cleaning products and techniques will degrade any sealer prematurely. A soft surface will wear with foot traffic, and as the surface wears, the sealer goes with it.

An interior wall in a guest bedroom, lightly wiped with TYW Neutral Tile & Stone Cleaner? I'm going to take a guess here. Say 100 years, give or take.

This is the Master Bathroom bathroom shower and floor. I hope it will be maintained well, but as is often the case it will not always happen. My wife is disabled and will not be able to wipe it dyy after each use.
