Is Stone Carpet Waterproof?

Anilo BV * 30.01.2025

Stone Carpet systems are a type of flooring that, due to their porous structure, allow for drainage of water. However, to achieve a completely waterproof surface, Anilo’s specially developed PoreFILLER P-1K, a 100% aliphatic, transparent pore filler, should be applied. PoreFILLER P-1K is an advanced coating system that, with a single layer application, fills all the pores, providing 100% water impermeability. This product can be used in areas where absolute water insulation is required, both indoors and outdoors, alongside the Stone Carpet system.

Features and Benefits of PoreFILLER P-1K:
  • Provides 100% Waterproofing:
  • It deeply penetrates the porous Stone Carpet surface, filling all gaps to create a waterproof layer. One coat is sufficient, no extra layers are needed.
  • Resistant to Yellowing and Fading due to Aliphatic Structure:
  • Thanks to its 100% aliphatic formula, it offers maximum resistance to UV rays. It does not yellow under sunlight and maintains color stability for many years.
  • High Chemical Resistance:
  • Fully resistant to cleaning agents, detergents, and soapy water. It withstands pool chemicals with high chlorine content and salty water. It does not degrade or dissolve when exposed to acidic or alkaline solutions.
  • Superior Resistance to Hot and Cold Water:
  • It is resistant to extreme temperature changes. It does not crack in cold climates and retains its elasticity in hot climates. It has high resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Hydrophobic Feature – Easy Cleaning:
  • Creates a hydrophobic surface that does not retain water or dirt. Liquids like oil stains, wine, coffee, or tea do not penetrate the surface and can be easily cleaned. Its antibacterial and mold-preventing structure ensures hygienic use.
  • Application Areas:
  • PoreFILLER P-1K can be used in all Stone Carpet applications that require waterproofing:
  • Balconies and terraces
  • Bathrooms, shower areas, and spas
  • Swimming pools and poolside areas
  • Kitchen and restaurant floors
  • Garages and industrial floors
Conclusion:

Standard Stone Carpet applications have a naturally porous structure that allows for drainage. However, when PoreFILLER P-1K is applied, the surface is completely sealed, making it 100% waterproof. A single layer application provides long-lasting waterproofing. It offers maximum durability against chemicals, hot and cold water, and external factors. It is not affected by sunlight, cleaning agents, or chlorine. It creates an aesthetic and hygienic surface, minimizing maintenance costs. PoreFILLER P-1K, developed by Anilo with high technology, is a professional solution that complements Stone Carpet systems with superior durability.
