Natural Stone Sealer – Yes or No?

The subject of sealing natural stone can be emotive. At Sealing Specialists in Orlando, Florida, we appreciate that some people consider the idea of using natural stone sealer to be sacrilege in any situation.

Of course they are entitled to their opinion, and often, we actually share the same views regarding natural stone. But, in our experience, there are numerous other people looking for a natural stone sealer to protect the ‘naturalness’ of their surfaces from stains, spillages and physical damage from the elements.

Below are some notable benefits of sealing:
  • Sealant intensifies colors, and depending on the desired finish, can give pavers a lustrous sheen.
  • Sealing protects against water, UV rays and other elements to keep the pavers’ natural color as fresh as it was on the day of installation. Without sealant, pavers lose their color, and after 5 years, the color loss might be irreversible.
  • On driveways, sealing is vital for protection against staining from oil spills.
  • Good products like Ure-Seal H20 penetrate deep into the joints, locking in fresh sand to prevent cracking and shifting, as well as inhibiting mildew and insects.
  • Sealing increases the surface density of pavers, making them tougher and more resistant to wear.
  • Natural stone sealer makes pavers much easier to clean.
