Stone Sealing
Stone surfaces are by nature extremely porous and are predisposed to staining, dirt and mould build up through normal use. As such we highly recommend that all stone surfaces used in kitchens, bathrooms and on floors should be sealed for protection.

What are the differences between the natural stones?
There is a great deal of difference between natural stones. Most types of Granite for example only need protecting with a high quality impregnating sealer. Being a harder stone, they are not as susceptible to staining and an occasional application of a good quality impregnating sealer is all that is required to keep them in pristine condition.
However, Marble, Limestone and Travertine, although extremely beautiful, are by nature also extremely porous. These types of stone vary in their level of porosity, and will stain in varying degrees with usage. In this instance, a simple impregnating sealer will not be sufficient to protect them from staining.
Examples of a couple of softer but highly sort after marbles are Calacutta and Carrara. These marbles have a very high level of porosity and can often etch even with water.
It can be quite disappointing to find out that your beautiful stone benchtop is quite fragile and if it has not been sealed correctly, it will quickly lose its original character.
Basically anything that you use in your kitchen on a daily basis can damage your stone benches. Oil, vinegar, coffee, wine, beetroot, lemon juice and soft drinks can etch into the surface leaving unsightly stains and dull etch marks which detract from the original beauty of your stone.
This doesn’t have to be the case though if your kitchen benchtop, floor or bathroom stone is protected and maintained.
