UNDERSTANDING STONE SEALING AND ITS IMPORTANCE

Stone sealing is the process of applying a sealer to your natural stone surfaces to prevent oil and water-based stains from appearing. Over time, stone surfaces will gradually decrease and lose their durability. This is due to multiple reasons, such as weather conditions, high-usage and high-traffic areas, spills, and so on. It is vital to be sealing your stone surfaces to protect them from stains and general wear and tear. 

All stones are porous, some being more porous than others. At Stone Doctor Services, we have a wide range of penetrative sealers which we use to protect and preserve the beauty of your natural stone surfaces. We choose different penetrating sealers to use depending on the type of stone, due to the fact that some sealers have certain effects on certain stones. We highly recommend seeking professional stone sealing services, as preserving your natural stone investments should be of utmost importance.
