There is a characteristic of natural stones like granite, marble, sandstone and travertine to absorb oil and other liquids as they are considered as porous materials. Therefore, to prevent it, a stone sealer is used. There are many advantages of the stone sealer, but the main advantage is that they protect your walls, roofs and floors where these natural stones are used. The length of time liquids are absorbed is totally dependent on the type of stones. Granite stones will not absorb liquid as fast as sandstone. As natural stones are reliable and durable, a stone sealer will help you to maintain the beauty of these stones.
Here is a list of things you need to know about the stone sealer:
· There are different types of sealers used in the pavers in Melbourne. Some of them are topical sealers, penetrating sealers and impregnating sealers. All these sealers are used for different applications.
· If you have stain problems on the floors or walls, topical sealers that are made of acrylic and polyurethanes are the best. They will cover the surface of the stones and will give reliability and durability.
· Penetrating sealers will penetrate the stone to at least for one millimetre at the first layer of the stone to protect and cover them fully.
· Impregnating sealers offer utmost protection to the stone against oil and water by penetrating deep in the stone.
