Sealing Your Stone
Natural stone has been formed over millions of years but improper
care can ruin nature’s beauty. Although we usually think
of stone as “hard” it is a porous material that can
absorb spills and stain if left untreated. Sealing you stone with
quality impregnating sealer will prevent most spills from damaging
your stone. Sealing should be done every 12 month to ensure protection.
