AquaChoice FlexSealer Floor Sealer (1 Gallon)
FlexSealer made by Berger-Seidle, is a DIY friendly commercial grade floor sealer. This sealer is meant to be applied as the first coat directly to raw wood (or over stained wood). You then will need to apply to finish coats on top of like AquaChoice GreenStar.
Here is what we love about this sealer.
- It's water based: This means it dries fast and has low odor.
- It's very easy to apply: This is a very forgiving finish that doesn't show coating mistakes easily.
- It doesn't change the color of the floor: This is non yellowing, non tinted finish!
This is an ideal sealer for DIY project. It's pro grade, but easy to work with.
How many coats should I do?
Your floor should get a total of 3 coats of floor finish, but just the first one should be sealer.
Coat 1: AquaChoice FlexSealer
Coat 2 & 3: AquaChoice GreenStar
How much sealer do I need?
Every gallon of sealer (or finish) will cover about 400 square feet of flooring. You need to get enough sealer to do one coat, and enough finish to do 2 coats. Here is the equation.
(Square feet/ 400)X Number of coats.
If you have 800 square feet of flooring the math is as follows:
Sealer: (800/400)X1= 2 Gallons to do one coat.
Finish: (800/400)X2= 4 Gallons to do two coats.
What should I use to apply it?
Use a 9" roller on a 5' extension pole with a 3/8" nap microfiber roller cover. We recommend using the manufactures roller cover that comes with the finish. We sell them as well. You will want to get one for each coat you are applying.
You can cut in the edges with a chip brush.
What sheen is FlexSealer?
Sealers don't come in sheens, just finishes. So don't worry about the sheen of your sealer!
What's the difference between sealer and finish?
That's a great question! Think of sealer as the primer and finish as the paint. The sealer seals up the wood grain and gets the surface ready for the finish coats to go down.
