Sealer Benefits
Natural stone surfaces such as sandstone. limestone, slate, travertine, granite and marble can be difficult to keep clean as they are all porous, some more than others.
Sandstone and limestone are mostly used on external surfaces such as patios and driveways and are always difficult to keep free from algae and moss in the damp, warm climates found in the UK. The more durable types of natural stone such as Granite and Marble have high calcite content and are particularly vulnerable to staining from acids. As they are often used indoors, common household products such as coke, milk, toothpaste and other materials can cause an effect known as 'acid etching'. This can make these surfaces look dull and if left unsealed, a 'pitting' effect can be seen on the surface.
The solution to ensuring natural stone is kept in optimum condition at all times is to seal it with a good quality clear impregnating sealer. If you seal your natural stone with this tyoe of sealer, not only is it very effective but the look of the natural stone is completely natural once sealed.
