Why Should I Seal My Stone?

Natural stone is a beautiful and durable choice for various surfaces, but it is inherently porous, making it susceptible to staining. Sealing natural stone is essential to protect it from spills, dirt, and other contaminants that can mar its appearance. A quality sealer not only enhances the stone's natural beauty but also provides a barrier that allows for easier cleaning and maintenance. By investing in sealing, you ensure that your stone surfaces remain stunning and long-lasting for years to come.

How Do Sealers Work?

Sealers are specifically formulated to penetrate the natural pores of stone surfaces. When these pores are unsealed, they can easily absorb stains, leading to permanent damage. The sealing molecules work by bonding with the stone and reducing the size of these pores, which allows liquids to be wiped away before they have a chance to stain. This protective barrier ensures your natural stone surfaces remain beautiful and stain-free.

Water Based Sealers

​

Water-based sealers offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for various applications. They are low in volatile organic compounds (V), ensuring a healthier environment. Non-toxic and non-yellowing, these sealers maintain the clarity and appearance of surfaces over time. Additionally, are non-flammable, safe, and easy to use, making them ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. With UV and chemical resistance, they protect surfaces effectively while utilizing the latest polymer technology for enhanced durability.

Penetrating Sealers

​

​Penetrating sealers offer numerous benefits for your surfaces. They allow the sealed material to breathe while effectively inhibiting mould and mildew growth. Additionally, these sealers simplify cleaning and ongoing maintenance, reduce efflorescence, salt damage, and mineral blooming, and make the grouting clean-up process easier when applied as a pre-sealer. They also minimize staining from oil, food grease, grime, and other contaminants, ensuring your surfaces remain pristine during and after installation.

​

Penetrating sealers have their limitations and will not last forever or make your installation completely stain-proof. They won't allow you to use any cleaner without consequences, nor will they make your installation maintenance-free. Additionally, these sealers won't alter the character of freeze-thaw or salt-sensitive stones, and they cannot prevent etching on calcium-based stones caused by acid-based contaminants. It's essential to understand these factors to ensure proper care and maintenance of your surfaces.
